Why do polls keep showing that Trump is ahead of Biden with youth voters for 2024? In short, they’re wrong. They’re wildly, laughably wrong. Worse, these pollsters intuitively know that their results are wrong, yet they’ve been refusing to fix their flawed sampling method.
Any given poll gets more media coverage and credibility if it’s laughably wrong, than if it’s reasonably correct. The media loves nothing more than to take a shocking poll that can’t possibly be accurate, and hype it as if it were 100% correct – even while ignoring all the polls that say the opposite.
It's important for media to promote a "tight race," because doing so promotes more page clicks resulting in more ad revenue.
