The ‘Red Wave’ Washout: How Skewed Polls Fed a False Election
Narrative

The skewed red-wave surveys polluted polling averages, which are relied upon
by campaigns, donors, voters and the news media. It fed the home-team boosterism
of an expanding array of right-wing media outlets — from Steve Bannon’s
“War Room” podcast and “The Charlie Kirk Show” to Fox News and its
top-rated prime-time lineup. And it spilled over into coverage by mainstream
news organizations, including The Times, that amplified the alarms being sounded
about potential Democratic doom.
The virtual “bazaar of polls,” as a top Republican strategist called it,
was largely kept humming by right-leaning pollsters using opaque methodology, in
some cases relying on financial support from hyperpartisan groups and benefiting
from vociferous cheerleading by Mr. Trump.
“All of these effervescent polls and giddiness about a big red wave,” he
said, “led some Republican candidates to believe all they had to do was play
to late-night cable and the hard-core base, instead of reaching out to
independent voters who decided the election.”
