MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell appeared to question the accuracy of her network’s Super Tuesday exit polls, speculating that voters may be more supportive of President Biden than polls suggest.
Mitchell said Wednesday in an on-air debate with NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray that “enthusiasm” for Biden may be “greater than we think.”
Murray said a significant number of Nikki Haley voters voted for Biden over former President Trump, given the fact that 51% of Haley voters in Virginia say they approve of Biden’s job as president. He argued that there is a possibility that he would be willing to do so.
“The result is [leads] “I think the 5-point difference between the New York Times poll and our head-to-head poll may not be very accurate,” Mitchell said, adding, “Perhaps their camp’s “That may be the case with their enthusiasm for Joe Biden,” he said. , when it comes to binary choices, it’s bigger than we think. ”

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow also criticized her network on Super Tuesday, calling it “irresponsible” to air Donald Trump’s victory speech.
“This is in terms of the balance between knowingly allowing someone to lie on your broadcast about something they’ve lied about before versus being able to predict that they’re going to lie. I would say it’s a decision that we constantly revisit,” Maddow said Tuesday evening. “So, therefore, it’s irresponsible to have them do something like that. Understanding that this is irresponsible to broadcast and as a de facto, soon to be de facto Republican candidate, this is It’s a balance between understanding that it’s not just a problem.”This guy is likely to be the Republican presidential nominee, but this is how he does it.”

Fellow host Stephanie Ruhl suggested a “thorough investigation into what’s going on with him” to defuse tensions, but Maddow doubled down.
“Yes, we do it after the fact. That’s the best remedy we can get. Honestly, the fact that we aired it doesn’t fix it,” she said.
