After recent criticism from President Trump and the New York Post, Rasmussen Reports is calling on Fox News to be more transparent on how it’s conducting polls.

THREAD ==>

Update String: Time for Transparency at @FoxNews Polling: Let's stipulate up front (again) that we have zero issues with how Fox News Polling weights their Registered Voters (RV) polls. They are however currently very different than other RV pollsters. 1/7 — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 30, 2019

For example, here is a sample of current nationally recognized Registered Voters (RV) based poll weights: Fox News D48, R40, I/O12

Marist D33, R27, I/O41

Politico D39, R34, I/O27

Monmouth D30, R26, I/O44

Quinnipiac D34, R30, I/O36 Fox's I/O weight here is < half Marist's 2/7 pic.twitter.com/JSatpVGErX — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 30, 2019

This Fox weighting subject became national news 2 weeks ago when they released an RV poll showing 51% of RV's approved of the Impeachment & Removal From Office of @realDonaldTrump @POTUS then hit back immediately.https://t.co/ZOy1QhYdqL 3/7 pic.twitter.com/VdYCI18LMH — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 30, 2019

The @nypost next published a critique of the poll using Gallup All Adults (AA) weighting: "Fox News pollster Braun Research misrepresented impeachment poll: analysis"https://t.co/94Kv7DKQAV And @foxnewspoll then publicly affirmed they "stand by our latest poll." 4/7 pic.twitter.com/K2QViKWMkL — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 30, 2019

We believe @FoxNews would now be well served to be transparent in 2 key respects: (1) Inform the public how they benchmark, who to, & how frequently. (2) Restore the Nov 2016 final poll weighting data to their own website & the @RealClearNews database. 5/7 pic.twitter.com/KghEbZYp7E — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 30, 2019

Let's illustrate what specifically we mean here by final 2016 polling weighting transparency. Here is the link to our Final Nov 2016 Presidential Race Poll:https://t.co/JTHo71LafU Below are slides from that link & the 2016 Final RCP 4-Way Race Results. 6/7 pic.twitter.com/PZSNkGlB82 — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) October 30, 2019

And here are the current @FoxNews disclosures of their 2016 Final Poll weighting, when it counted most. As readers can see, the crosstabs containing the final weighting were provided at one time but have now been removed. Why?
