Median Strategies Releases Fake Polling Data for Wisconsin and California Mayoral Races
New development reveals Median Strategies has released fabricated polling data for the Wisconsin and California mayoral races, mirroring a similar incident in California where they falsely claimed Mayor Karen Bass was leading Raman by nearly 12 percentage points. This incident underscores the growing concern over the reliability of unvetted polling data in political contexts. The volatility in Kalshi's mayoral campaign contract price further illustrates the unpredictable nature of polling in such races. The lack of transparency and accountability in these polling exercises has led to widespread skepticism, prompting calls for more rigorous standards in polling methodologies.
