Fake Polls in the US: Firm Wedgewood Polls Admits Fabricating Data Ahead of Midterm Elections
Self-proclaimed American firm Wedgewood Polls admitted that the 'majority' of its polls were made up, saying it was an experiment. Fake data made it into aggregators and The New York Times and, according to Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow, harmed her campaign. This is the second such scandal ahead of the midterms: in August, Median Strategies admitted fabrication, and aggregator FiftyPlusOne also raised doubts about SoCal Strategies. Experts warn that AI makes fabricating fake polls easier.
