Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler is releasing the following statement in response to Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel’s factually incorrect comments made Friday morning on Newsmax’s Wake Up America regarding a poll conducted by The Trafalgar Group/Convention of States.
“RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel’s comments (Friday) morning on Newsmax criticizing our poll were patently false. We’ve watched politicians vote on bills without reading them, and similarly McDaniels has criticized our poll without actually having read it. Anyone can clearly see it was not conducted at a convention, and is not a ‘handpicked sample’, but rather is a nationwide, scientific poll conducted by one of the most reliable and respected pollsters in America, The Trafalgar Group. Making statements without doing the research and fully understanding what you’re talking about is part of the Washington way of doing things that we have to change,” said Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States. “We conduct polls through our partners at The Trafalgar Group to take the temperature of the American people so we can understand where they stand on the leading issues of the day. Convention of States is a vast grassroots movement that represents the interests of the American people, not DC insiders. McDaniels has made it clear she doesn’t care about their opinions, but we do.”
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel was interviewed this morning on Newsmax’s Wake Up America, and was asked to respond to a poll released earlier this week by The Trafalgar Group/Convention of States showing that only 6% of GOP voters want to see her re-elected for another term.
McDaniel claimed the The Trafalgar Group/Convention of States poll is a “junk poll”, saying, “…that’s a junk poll, and it was done in a junk way, so you can make a poll say anything…it was done at a Convention of States, it was a handpicked audience. I mean, if you look at the metrics on that poll, it’s just not real.”
