SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYBreitbart is an established but strongly partisan outlet, and this piece is explicitly opinion rather than straight reporting. The author is named, but the article gives little detail about the polls’ methods or sourcing.
- Source type — Opinion content from a strongly partisan outlet.
- Editorial standards — The piece uses polemical language and offers little evidence of independent verification.
- Author attribution — The named author is identified.
The article reports specific poll figures and references a second poll, but provides no methodology, links, or detailed sourcing. Its openly derisive framing and lack of competing perspectives limit its value as reporting.
HOW WE SCORE ↗This is a one-sided opinion piece that ridicules poll results and a demographic group without presenting responses, alternative interpretations, or methodological context.
- Counterarguments presented — No opposing perspective or response is included.
- Loaded language — Repeated insults and inflammatory phrasing dominate the article.
- Source diversity — Poll results are mentioned, but no pollster or other source is quoted or examined.
The article strongly favors Republicans through sarcastic framing, portrays poll results unfavorable to Republicans as implausible, and uses hostile language about a demographic group associated with Democratic support.
- Language tone — Uses ridicule and inflammatory language about polls and college-educated white women.
- Framing — Treats a Republican lead as credible while suggesting Republican deficits elsewhere are absurd.
- Source selection — References two polls but offers no meaningful countervailing perspective or methodological context.
John Nolte argues that a Fox News poll showing Mike Rogers leading Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed in Michigan’s Senate race is surprising, and mocks the poll’s results in other states. He also derides college-educated white women who favored El-Sayed and calls for their deportation.
Nolte says a Fox News poll puts Republican Mike Rogers ahead of Democrat Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, 51% to 47%. He cites an EPIC-MIRS poll showing Rogers ahead by three points and contrasts the Michigan result with Fox poll figures showing Democrats ahead in Ohio, Iowa and Texas. He uses those comparisons to argue sarcastically that the poll portrays Republicans as likely to lose elsewhere despite Republican-leaning state election results.

3 OUTLETSA Fox News poll put Rogers ahead of El-Sayed 51% to 47%, within the margin of error, in Michigan’s Senate race. Center outlets treat the poll as a snapshot, noting El-Sayed’s strength among voters most engaged in the election and disputes from both campaigns. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Rogers’s lead as a Republican edge and stronger Republican support; one also ridicules the poll and voters who favored El-Sayed, while Fox News uses critical labels for him.
