Pew Poll Stacked with Democrats Backing Impeachment
"A new Pew Research poll that claims 54 percent of registered voters support the impeachment of President Donald Trump is stacked with Democrat respondents, according to a review of its methodology by Newsmax."
"Buried in the survey results is the fact that of the 3,487 respondents, 1,942 are Democrats or are Democratic leaning while 1,453 are Republicans or Republican leaning. That means 56 percent of those polled were Democrats compared to 42 percent who identified as Republicans — a 14 percent margin favoring Democrats."
"Frank Luntz, a veteran American political consultant and pollster, questioned the validity of the poll."
“Self-identified Democrats outnumber self-identified Republicans by about 6 percent nationally. The sample for this poll leans a bit too Democratic to accept these numbers as gospel,” Luntz told Newsmax. “When the questions are about impeachment, you have a responsibility to ensure an accurately balanced sample.”
"Further, Pew told Newsmax, "The survey is intended to reflect the views of all Americans, and so groups are sized to reflect their actual share in the population. Among the general public, a larger share of adults identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party than identify with or lean toward the Republican Party."

That last bit there is why polls are nothing but propaganda.
