LOL.
So basically Democrat voters.
Alternative title: “More than half of Americans are idiots”
Only 49%?
Anyone else see the headline and think, “Nah, he was 100% involved, where’d they get this halfsies shit?”
It took me a second, ngl.
George Carlin - “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that…”
HES IN THE RELEASED FILES GOD DAMNIT
Yeah but you can’t trust anything he says that’s just trump
Pages and pages of them, and photos and photos too.
fuck
A stunning new poll shows a whopping 71 percent of Americans say President Donald Trump knew about former pal and currently deceased Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes against underage girls — and a wide plurality say he was “involved in” those crimes.
So that’s 71% that said he broke the law and contributed in some way to the abuse whether by direct action or by not reporting what he knew.
That’s actually really high. It would be tough to get 71% of Americans to agree on what day of the week it is.
Edit: Looks like it’s a YouGov survey, and the article cites a second YouGov survey as corroboration, so I’m not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.
I regularly do YouGov serveys and I also believe he’s guilty
More Americans believe in ghosts than believe trump wasn’t aware and complicit in Epstein systematically trafficking and raping children…

Huh?
It’s got more than enough participants and everything seems by the book…
Is this one of those things where people got turned into science deniers because pundits interpretations of other polls didn’t turnout true?
That’s like saying Doppler radar is untrustworthy because when it was a 50% chance of rain, it didn’t rain at your house…
The science wasn’t wrong, you just never understood what it said. And rather than take an opportunity to learn what you misunderstood to stop the misunderstanding from happening again…
You’re just staying ignorant and now no longer believe any of the science because you don’t understand.
Why?
Why does science denial seem like the best path to you?
Calling looking at the methodology and questioning its voracity “science denial” is wild.
YouGov is self selecting. I’m sure they do true random polling in some capacity too, but both linked studies said they were web surveys of YouGov users selected bases on their profile demographics to be a representative group.
My issue is that by the pool only being YouGov users, just balancing on ideology is not the same as random sampling.
Not claiming to be a data scientist here, just reading the study and applying some healthy skepticism.
If I’m wrong and the methods are sound then great, I would be happy to believe that that many Americans actually believe that.

That’s not what you did, you based it off two polls being done by the same polling company…
I looked at the methodology, then informed you it was fine…

I am fully aware that you:
-
Don’t know about this subject
-
Are shitting on science because you don’t understand it
-
Are now claiming to be “just asking questions”
The only thing I’m not clear on, is why you believe this is different than any other science denier.
But I think trying to get you to understand enough to answer that question, will go the same as asking any other science denier why they don’t believe in a certain field of science.
I think the issue here is you are reading

As
Looks like it’s a <any firm> survey, and the article cites a second <the same firm> survey as corroboration, so I’m not sure how scientifically rigorous this is.
My issue is with it being YouGov specifically, not that both were from the same source. Then I looked at the PDFs themselves to confirm they were opt-in web surveys before adding my edit.
Personally I do think he’s guilty and would love it if 71% think he was at least complicit.
Not really interested in taking this further though. Enjoy your day.
I would hardly describe online pollsters as scientists. Science, y’know, matters.
Science, y’know, matters.
It’s not mutually exclusive, but statistical analysis is both science and matters

This is a really weird take.
New poll: 49% believe in facts
Not a great number to see.
35%: “I don’t care. I’d still vote for him again.”
Only 49%? I guess they only asked half the class?
The others might be so deep in their echo chamber that the survey question was the first they ever heard of any Trump involvement
LOL, it’s only at 49%?
And only 71% think he knew? I wonder if that 29% is the Sarah Palin/Nixon Resigning Floor.
I don’t exactly understand the final reference, but I wonder if it’s the same as “30% of Germans still thought they were the good guys after WW2”
I got the Sarah Palin Floor concept from The Professional Left podcast. It’s what they call the part of the conservative base that will support Republicans and conservatives no matter what. I think they used this term when Donvict’s approval ratings went to 37%.
That number is pretty close to the same polling that Nixon had on the day he resigned - 27%.
27% is the crazy factor and a rather stable data point. Obama-Keyes is an example.
Have them listen to Sascha Riley’s interview and repoll them, it will be 100%. Epstein was the middle man, it was Trump’s crimes.
That reads like party lines.
Also “currently deceased” is a hell of a way to describe someone.
Based on trump math, the pedophile rapist piece of shit is 400% in those files.
51% still in denial
