NEW: Polling guru Ann Selzer, who released the poll in Iowa showing Harris up by 3, apparently doesn't know what the "D" and "R" mean in her cross tabs.
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 4, 2024
Halperin: Can you respond to the criticisms of your poll?
Selzer: That’s a little difficult for me to see. What, what, what… pic.twitter.com/EylbafHO7U
Chat, what do you think the D and R stand for?

Yeah, the most lauded pollster in the state where polls are the most important didn't know that D & R stand for Democratic and Republican. That's gotta be the part that's confusing her, not the thing that they're discussing.
In the last couple weeks I've seen so many cases where politically-motivated tards will imagine a person is saying something that they obviously would never say that I gotta assume this is the "I was just pretending to be r-slurred" style of trolling.

At 0:21 she says "what, what, what does this D represent and the R represent"

I'm guessing he's saying she means "what, what, what does this D represent and the R represent [here]". She knows what they mean in general but he assumes she's asking about in this specific context of the tweet lifted from some data.

I think she's confused because they've reformulated a bunch of tabular data into text on a tweet and it's not clear if the numbers are responses or population samples.

Jesus christ dude. You can see the tweet she's looking at. If she wasnt sure what the numbers were being compared to she'd say that. She specifically asked what the D and R mean.

Yeah, what she's talking about here I think, and what the rightoids are too stupid to comprehend, is about weighting by party ID in polling.
no good pollster weights by party ID.
It goes back to the "over-sampling" myth you see r-slurs repeat constantly.

Hmm interesting. Why did she need to ask what the D and R represent though?

buddy, if you think the best pollster in the country doesn't know what D or R means you are genuinely r-slurred, I just told you what she was saying.
like just accept trump had a bad poll, you aren't going to discredit quite literally the best pollster to ever operate in the country, her results speak for themselves, no matter what rightoids say.

1.) Homeboy said he checked her crosstabs
2. Her crosstabs do not have the information in the specific format or labels he used, because he (Girdusky, who is actually a good dude) probably went through and selected and labeled data interesting to him based on this poll and the last exit poll.
3.) She goes wtf is this? I don't know what the D or R refers to in the context of criticism to the data in my poll?
4.) Halperin explains what Giurdusky is getting at.
4.) She later answers it in full, explaining that "I obviously can't crosscheck what he's calculated here to verify if it's correct", but Rugg cut that out because he's a grifting California strag who wants to get some enagement going "THIS FRICKING WHORE IS PERSONALLY STEALING THE ELECTION"
Here's the full 50 something-minute interview where she talks about it. Basically "idk, old ladies like Harris and go almost 3-1 for her despite what the appearances are"

Ok that's cool and all, but I'm saying that an adult human, especially one as smart as her, should be able to see

Eh, it's live. I looked at the table and then wondered what it meant and then read the tweet text and it was explained. If I was in the middle of a discussion with someone there's a good chance I might have thought out loud that process just to be conversational.

This is election discourse.
Of course anyone with an above room temp IQ knows, after watching the video, that she was asking for clarification on what the tweet was critising, as in "in the context of this data format, what does d+3/r+8 mean?". Obviously she hasn't read the tweet before it being thrown up on the screen live and didn't read the top text. The answer to her question is "D+3 shows the overall demo spread in your recent poll and R+8 shows for the demo spread in the 2020 exits" NOT literally "D means democrat you fricking r-slurred b-word".
That said, her answer isn't very convincing lmfao

Yeah I think it's just the crosstabs format.
Like "Overall: D+3/R+8". Yeah it's obvious "D+3" means "3% in favor of dems" and "R+8" means "8% in favor of repubs" but it's less obvious that it's saying "their polls said D+3 but the actual outcome was R+8".
Now you can complain about how she should have known this crosstab format or whatever but I think that makes far more sense than "she doesn't realize 'D' means 'Democrat'".

You're not thinking about it correctly. Yes many don't care about KH that much but killing babies is super important to women
The midterms proved that, Dems just needed to put a somewhat competent person out there and then let the baby killers get out and vote

22' midterms were literally months after the repeal, in a news cycle where it was hammering constantly for months without letup. It's not really comparable 2 years later, though I think the Roe effect will boost her numbers slightly.
