Vice President Kamala Harris may lead in the national polling average and be slightly ahead in four of the seven battleground states, depending on where you look, but behind the window-dressing lurks so much more. First, a recent Gallup poll revealed that when it comes to the issues Americans are most concerned about, like the economy, immigration, and crime, more people trust the GOP than the Democrats to manage them.
Now, consider this: Pew Research Center has discovered that polls have been less accurate when former President Donald Trump is on the ballot when compared to other polls in the past 20 years. If this is true, what does that say about Harris’ numbers? Could the combination of the vice president’s media-embellished hype and Trump’s impact on the polls be fabricating a flawed view?
One well-known issue with polls is “forced choice.” Let’s say participants have only three options. If their opinion is not listed, they choose the statement closest to how they feel. Not only do polls “limit people’s sense of wider possibilities,” but “those who pay the pollsters commonly influence the scope of ideas and attitudes deemed worthy of consideration,” claims national media watch group FAIR.
“A good pollster is like a good attorney, and fights for the result that the commissioning party expects or needs,” quipped Christopher Hitchens in 1992, writing for Harper’s. “[I]n the parlance, such a poll is called ‘client-directed.’ Pollsters themselves make no bones about their influence on the outcome.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
