Veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove says political polling is 'broken,' but he still believes the trends ahead of the midterms indicate Republicans will do well in November — as long as former President Donald Trump keeps quiet for the next few weeks.
Karl Rove, Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, comments before addressing the crowd at the Texas Energy Museum's Blowout 2019 at the Civic Center.
"Polling is broken, let’s just be honest about it," Rove said during a Wall Street Journal event in Dallas on Monday night."We used to endow it with scientific precision that it probably had some of, but now it’s a crapshoot." For instance, he pointed to a New York Times/Siena poll released Monday that showed a massive shift in women who identified as independent voters. In September, they supported Democrats by 14 points. The poll now found them backing Republicans by 18 points. But Rove said the sample size of 792 registered voters was too small for the findings to be reliable.
