Quinnipiac is at it again. It released its periodic poll on President Trump's job approval. The result according to Quinnipiac is disapprove 58%, approve 37%. That's pretty terrible until you look at the other two polls on the same subject released today. These two average disapprove 51 and approve 46%. That's an 18 point difference from the spread in the Quinnipiac poll. If this were an aberration, you could write it off as a statistical mistake, but it's not. For at least the last six months, the results from Quinnipiac have bee very substantially worse for President Trump than all the other polls (of which there are many.)
Is there something that can be done to stop Quinnipiac from releasing polls that are obviously wrong and set to try to embarrass the president? Not really. It's just sad that a polling organization would think that releasing bogus polls makes sense. Americans have the right to expect something close to the truth in these polls. Sure, they might be wrong, but they ought to at least be issued in good faith.
