The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • About three-quarters say they decided on Trump more than a month ago. A similar share said that they cast their vote for the candidate they strongly favored... By contrast, Haley voters decided later and often with some reluctance.
  • Trump’s voters said they most prized a willingness to fight for them; by contrast, Haley’s voters were more likely to cite temperament as key than to say the same of any other characteristic.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • The author uses a quote from an exit poll which is not accurate or representative of all voters who participated in the election.
  • Voters registered as undeclared favored Haley by a wide margin.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Half of Trump voters said the US should take a less active role in world affairs than it currently does, with only 3 in 10 Haley voters saying the same.
  • Trump voters were less likely to decide early than Haley voters and often did so reluctantly. About 4 in 10 Haley voters attributed their support of her mostly to distaste for her opponents.

Deceptions

50%

Examples:

  • The article falsely claims that GOP primary voters are less staunchly conservative and less closely tied to the Republican Party than in Iowa caucuses. However, this statement contradicts itself as it states that about two-thirds of New Hampshire GOP primary voters described themselves as conservative.
  • The author uses a quote from an exit poll which is not accurate or representative of all voters who participated in the election.
