CALLER: Hey, it may be individuals such as myself that explain why the polls are often wrong. When I get a call from a pollster, I have been a black female… I\u2019m a 67-year-old white male, by the way, conservative.<\/p>\nRUSH: Here\u2019s Virgil in Sidney, Ohio, as we head down the tracks here on Open Line Friday. Welcome, Virgil.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Hey, mega dittos, and thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hey, it may be individuals such as myself that explain why the polls are often wrong. When I get a call from a pollster, I have been a black female… I\u2019m a 67-year-old white male, by the way, conservative.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute. You tell them that you\u2019re a black female and they…?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, these are the calls where you punch the buttons.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh, okay. You\u2019re talking to a automated program, okay.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Right. So I\u2019ve been a black female, a white female, a young white male, and I always tell them —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Have you been a transgender yet? That\u2019s for fun than a —<\/p>\n
CALLER: (chuckling)<\/p>\n
RUSH: You should try that. When you punch the button as a transgender, the world changes in ways that —<\/p>\n
CALLER: I\u2019m not sure that was ever a choice.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s temporary. Go for it!<\/p>\n
CALLER: (laughing) If your aim is to screw up with the pollsters.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Ah. I will. I will do that next time.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what we saw, Virgil, was in George, a Democrat pollster… This was the day following the Pajama Boy defeat. The Democrat pollsters said (paraphrased), “The problem was that we couldn\u2019t find our voters. We couldn\u2019t find and identify \u2019em \u2019cause too many of \u2019em are still living at home with their parents.” (chuckling) They didn\u2019t have their own phones. They were still using Mommy and Daddy\u2019s landlines or whatever, so they couldn\u2019t find them.<\/p>\n
But the story he\u2019s reacting to is that every election — one of these special elections or even the presidential race back in November — there is this massive Election Day turnout of Republican voters that no pollster has yet captured. There\u2019s only a couple polls that have been right. One of them is IBD and I forget what the other, but the vast majority of them are oversampling Democrats and they missed the presidential race by three to six points and they missed… Well, they had Ossoff down by two on the last day, which proved my theory.<\/p>\n
Preelection polls, the farther out they are, the worse they are. The closer to the election you get, the more the pollster has to try to be honest for his own reputation. But there is this group of Republican voters. We\u2019re not talking polls. We\u2019re talking actual elections. They show up and they was not been accounted for, and nobody knows where they\u2019re coming from. Do you realize how bogus that is? They\u2019re just… They\u2019re human beings, they\u2019re voters, they live in the district and the pollsters claim they can\u2019t find \u2019em, and the media claims they don\u2019t know who they are. So they\u2019re portrayed as this secretive monster group out there that shows up out of nowhere, which is just patently absurd.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re the same as anybody else that lives in the district. It\u2019s just they\u2019re ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
