Never forget: Red wave of 2022!!!!!!!
"To proponents of what might be called the 'Red Wave Theory' of polling, this was a blatant example of a phenomenon that they see as widespread: A flood of GOP-aligned polls has been released for the precise purpose of influencing the polling averages, and thus the election forecasts, in Trump’s favor," the report states. "In the view of these critics, the Quantus example (the firm subsequently
denied any such intent) only made all this more overt: Dozens of such polls have been released since then, and they are in no small part responsible for tipping the averages—and the forecasts—toward Trump."
The report further points to Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg and data analyst Tom Bonier, who "were skeptical of such predictions in 2022 and ultimately proved correct," and their warnings "that all this is happening again."
