The Washington Examiner is an established national outlet with an identifiable author and editorial operation. Its partisan orientation warrants some caution, but the article attributes candidate claims and identifies the polling organizations and other reported poll results.

• ▸Source type — Established national news publisher; partisan orientation is a consideration.
• ▸Author attribution — The article names its reporter.
• ▸Editorial standards — A professional newsroom format and attributed campaign statements support accountability.
• ▸Transparency — The polling organizations and competing poll results are identified, though survey methodology is not detailed in the article.

The article reports specific poll figures, identifies the polling organizations, includes statements from the major campaigns, and notes that other polls differ. It provides little information about the survey methodology and relies partly on campaign characterizations of the race.

The article reports poll results for the principal candidates and includes responses from their campaigns, along with other poll results. It does not provide polling methodology or much independent context for comparing the surveys.

• ▸Counterarguments presented — The article notes that other polls have shown different results and includes competing campaign claims.

• ▸Source selection — The article includes comments from McMorrow's side, Stevens's campaign, and Rogers's campaign.
