STAGWELL BUYS NIELSEN MOBILE ASSETS, CREATES HARRISX


US investment advisory company The Stagwell Group has acquired Nielsen’s Mobile Insights Survey and Total Communications Survey, which will relaunch under the name HarrisX. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Dritan NeshoStagwell was formed in 2015 by Penn Schoen Berland co-founder Mark Penn. Soon after launch, the firm acquired Nielsen’s entertainment research subsidiary NRG; and in January, it bought the Harris brand and Harris Poll from Nielsen. As part of the latest deal, HarrisX will join what is now known as Harris Insights and Analytics, offering mobile industry trends insights to telecoms and smartphone clients. HarrisX will offer two tracker surveys: the Mobile Insights telecoms industry survey tracker, providing insights on all carrier and device-related consumer behavior, perceptions, preferences and motivations; and the Total Communications Survey performance tracker, to measure the current and intended behavior and motivators of consumers across video, Internet and streaming services.

When a result is two or more standard deviations from the poll average, there is reason to be cautious. When the pollster is Penn, that does double.

Morning Consult has set up a system that returns similar results week after week. Harris is a run by a political animal, who can not be trusted. Fish and Fowl.

23. this poll is the same group of people (some paid) day after day after day, it is not legit
Fri Oct 11, 2019, 09:50 PM
Oct 2019
The Fox poll IS LEGIT (not saying it is correct or not in terms of the 10 point Biden lead, I think that that number is fairly close to the actual lead nationally, which I would peg at 5% to 8% for Biden over Warren atm).

Not only that but Scott Rasmussen (who runs HarrisX) is a RWer, who has had a clear agenda for decades. Not only that but the same poll (HarrisX) showed Trump with a 49% approval rating post impeachment enquiry announcement, which is the same as the KNOWN-to-be dodgy, RW Rasmussen Reports poll shows (Scott Rasmussen sold RR off years ago.)

The Morning Consult is similar to HarrisX as well, but a bit better.

Posting HarrisX every day is just a study in wish fulfilment at this point. There is simply no way a national poll showing a twenty point lead (which is literally DOUBLE the spread of a LEGIT great for Biden poll ie. Fox) is anything but that.

It is not the Warren people having sour grapes at all, and they do not like me anyway, as I think she puts the electoral defeat of the monster Rump at far, far more risk than a Biden nomination does. It is that posting this flawed poll EVERY day is bordering on baiting them. It is a clear and massive outlier. It is a 33 point swing in Biden's favour from another poll that also just came out (I think that poll is an outlier the other way (too high for Warren) BTW, as is Change Research.)

I tend to post polls when I see them, but I ignore most of these because they are so frequent.

I just used Advanced Search to look back at OPs posted in this forum the last two months, back to August 12, using the search terms

harris

and

harris x

to get all OPs about the poll (and I had to skim past all the OPs referring to Kamala Harris).

The polls posted were for:

Oct. 8-11 (this one)

Oct. 1-4

Sept. 28 - Oct. 1

Sept. 25-28

Sept. 10-13

Aug. 26-29

Aug. 24-27

Aug. 23-26



There were also a few threads about Hill/Harris and Harvard/Harris polls, which are different polls. I think one of those polls was posted by two people. But I've sometimes seen polls favoring Warren posted by several people.

Re the August polls, there were separate OPs for likely voters as well as registered voters, since 538 had started posting both poll results for Harris X. That wasn't done for the later polls.

Mark Penn is a DINO turned RWer and runs the separate (from HarrisX) Harvard-Harris poll

They are RW foxes in the hen house, designed to cause conflict and steer opinion for max chaos.

The Hill (HarrisX partner) just so happens to sponsor the most dodgy of all the major polls`(run by a decades long RW pollster) in terms of overrating Biden AND YET ALSO just so happens to have been the biggest source pushing the Biden Burisma Ukraine scandal RW conspiracy theory.

Coincidence?

Not in my book. It is classic non-linear warfare/reflexive control tactics.

Create a fog of war, destroy valid measurements and norms, zig when all else in a normal predictive system says you will ZAG.

The Hidden Author of Putinism
How Vladislav Surkov invented the new Russia

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/11/hidden-author-putinism-russia-vladislav-surkov/382489/

“I am the author, or one of the authors, of the new Russian system,” Vladislav Surkov told us by way of introduction. On this spring day in 2013, he was wearing a white shirt and a leather jacket that was part Joy Division and part 1930s commissar. “My portfolio at the Kremlin and in government has included ideology, media, political parties, religion, modernization, innovation, foreign relations, and ...”—here he pauses and smiles—“modern art.” He offers to not make a speech, instead welcoming the Ph.D. students, professors, journalists, and politicians gathered in an auditorium at the London School of Economics to pose questions and have an open discussion. After the first question, he talks for almost 45 minutes, leaving hardly any time for questions after all. It’s his political system in miniature: democratic rhetoric and undemocratic intent.

49. Some people are desperately trying to discredit this poll. I wonder why... Clearly, the truth hurts.
