How Polls Sell Wars: Same Question, 40-Point Difference | Tom Woods Show #2804

Former Rasmussen pollster Mark Mitchell, now of The Honest Poll, talks about how polls deceive us, and the unraveling of MAGA. Mark Mitchell spent 5-6 years rebuilding Rasmussen before he walked away. Why? He says his criticism of the Iran strike jeopardized a check from a right-leaning PAC — and an independent pollster can’t work like that. In this episode, Mark breaks down how push polls actually work: hidden sponsors, reporting 1 question out of 30 asked, dropping recalled vote to get a fake lead, and loading war questions with “Trump ordered” and “end the nuclear program” to manufacture consent. The centerpiece: the same Iran regime-change strike polled at 37% support when asked neutrally — vs 56% support when worded as a successful Trump-ordered mission. Same question, 40-point difference. That’s how Iran war polls sell wars. Plus: the CNN “100% MAGA support” troll Trump fell for, why Trump approval is collapsing with independents and under-40 voters, the failure to convert the 2024 coalition, and why young pragmatists just want the system fixed.
