So... a Fox News poll of 800 people yesterday showed Biden doing quite well in Wisconsin post-Kenosha. Not sure, therefore, why a non-randomly selected focus group of 10 people (8 of whom voted for Trump last time!) is really newsworthy at all. https://t.co/ws088l2PhI https://t.co/Ejw60HNypl — PolitiTweet.org

Focus groups are not good substitutes for polls, but I can imagine times when they provide useful *qualitative* insights. But it's not a coincidence that, in practice, they almost always wind up endorsing the prevailing media narrative about the race. Very easy to manipulate*. — PolitiTweet.org
