Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Google must be getting paid to bury Joe Biden online poll sites.

If I search "Joe Biden Approval" in Google, this happens:

538 of course is page 1, and has always been. They use an adjustment system to their composite that always happens to inflate Democrat numbers and deflate Republican numbers.

But Rasmussen has been buried to page three.

And the most crazy of them all, Real Clear Politics, which uses a composite average like 538, without a modified adjustment, used to be at the bottom of page 1 last year. Was moved to page 2 starting this year, and today it's now page 5!

Go figure...

    They compromised on something a few months ago. I think it was they started censoring Covid stuff, but I can't remember the details.

    They were playing some games with Russia-Ukraine reporting, down ranking articles that they viewed as a disinformation campaign from Russia.

    That and YouTube was demonetizing profitable conservative sites.
