    "Why are your polls bad" is a useless question for a reporter to ask a candidate.https://twitter.com/RebeccaBuck/status/1137715868635410432 …

    Yesterday Cory Booker was asked about his 2020 viability as he polls in the low single digits. He pointed out that Obama “was polling in the single digits going into Iowa.” But that’s not true. In fact, Obama didn’t EVER poll in single digits in IA https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/ia/iowa_democratic_caucus-208.html#polls …

        It’s perfectly fine to ask a candidate about their viability when they’re at 1%

        It's a boring question that always gets a boring, non-answer. I hate it when they ask that.

        Keeping polling score is a thing journalists ought to eschew--forever. Maybe that would be the road to learning this is not entertainment.
