There are Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Mark Twain, America’s Shakespeare

If you look anywhere on Twitter right now, you’ll likely find some MAGA publishing something like this, all in a huff, all excited, take this example from Newt Gingrich. Muxh more below:

Rasmussen:52% want Biden to resign 39% opposed; 60% want him impeached 37% no; Harris unqualified to be President 58%-47% not at all qualified: 38% she is qualified: there you have the American dilemma-confused, incompetent and dishonest at top-even more frightening at number 2

Right. Just two months ago, 60% of Americans approved of Joe Biden’s handling of the nation. But we’re supposed to believe that 60% of the county wants him impeached now. So what’s going on? It is easy to figure out:

This Rasmussen Poll is sponsored by Jack Posobiec and yall take this shit seriously? 🤣🤣🤣

This is a commercial, not a poll. Here is Jack Posobiec’s bio according to Wiki – and do remember, Wiki policies political biases and plays this straight down the middle. And yet:

John Michael Posobiec III (/pəˈsoʊbɪk/ pə-SOH-bik; born December 14, 1985) is an American alt-right^] and alt-lite political activist, television correspondent and presenter, conspiracy theorist,  and Internet troll. Posobiec is best known for his pro-Donald Trump comments on Twitter, as well as using white supremacist and antisemitic symbols and talking points, including the white genocide conspiracy theory. He has promoted fake news, including the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory claiming high-ranking Democratic Party officials were involved in a child…

So the guy who brought you Pizzagate and is a confirmed racist funds a poll on Rasmussen, the furthest Right of the pollsters, and we’re supposed to believe that 60% of the country wants Biden impeached?

Please, do not fall for this. Biden is probably about 50-50 and – once the troubles with getting out of Afghanistan are forgotten (because the overall mission, once accomplished, was done fairly smoothly absent the loss of military personnel from ISIS, not the Taliban, Biden will be celebrated for getting out of Afghanistan. By the way, at any point during Biden’s presidency, there will likely be 40% of the country that wants Biden “impeached.”

Additionally, with the Texas ban on abortion about to dominate the news cycle, we can be pretty sure that Biden’s approval ratings will rise above 50% again. What is the alternative, DeSantis? Trump? Cruz?

Pfft. Don’t fall for this.
