This just keeps happening.
Conservative Ann Coulter famously argued in a 2008 column that polls from The New York Times and The Washington Post in the final month of every presidential election since 1976 over estimated support for Democrats by about 6 to 10 points!
Coulter restated this as an “iron rule”, writing, “They will never, ever be wrong in favor of Republicans,” and “one thing polls will never do is overestimate a Republican’s chances.”
Ann Coulter was right.
On Tuesday Geiger Capitol published a letter by Wedgewood Polls admitting that they are a fake polling firm and made up their poll numbers.
Their polls were published on the NY Times and included in Nate Silver’s averages.
Absolutely incredible…
“Wedgewood Polls” just admitted they are a fake polling firm and made up their polls.
Their fake polls have been posted in both the NYT and Nate Silver’s averages. https://t.co/ceZU2NdpK5

The fraudulent polling firm had El-Sayed up 53–47 over Mike Rogers and Jocelyn Benson up 55–45 over Republican John James in Michigan.
These same fraudsters had weird James Talarico up over outstanding Republican Ken Paxton 48-46 in Texas.
This follows the far-left Des Moine Register’s 2024 poll conducted by J. Ann Selzer with Selzer & Co. that showed Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump 47%–44% among likely voters before the election.
Trump won Iowa by 13 points! over Kamala Harris, one of the worst candidates in US history. Trump’s win was historic and the too big for them to steal. The Register was only off by 15 points!
Earlier this month Harry Enten from CNN warned Democrats that if the polls are historically wrong this year by the typical 3.7 points, Republicans will easily keep both the US House and the US Senate control.
