NBC News polling analyst Steve Kornacki is a professional, not a partisan. Indeed, he observes the day-to-day political combat he analyzes from an Olympian remove and with commendable dispassion. But Kornacki was compelled to descend from those heights by a spate of accusations alleging that the pollsters had rigged the survey data in Donald Trump’s favor.
The Mueller, She Wrote podcast — a program geared toward the anti-Trump “Resistance” and that was unduly confident that Robert Mueller’s investigation into the former president’s ties to Russia would bear fruit — forced Kornacki’s hand. The podcast’s X (formerly Twitter) account alleged on Tuesday that the Wall Street Journal had entered into a corrupt deal to publish pollster Tony Fabrizio’s work despite his ties to the Trump campaign and only to popularize the fraudulent notion that Donald Trump is running competitively against President Joe Biden.
