Definition of a partisan poll for the person who doesn't understand it

Partisanship is determined by who sponsors the poll, rather than who conducts it. Polls are considered partisan if they’re conducted on behalf of a candidate, party, campaign committee, or PAC, super PAC, 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5) or 501(c)(6) organization that conducts a large majority of its political activity on behalf of one political party. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirby1706 (talk • contribs) 17:03, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

This isn't the "definition" of a partisan poll, it's merely the criteria used by a single website to determine whether to apply a 4-point shift to it in their database for their polling averages. They literally describe themselves as a Republican polling firm, it's how they're described in the news media, and it's consistent with how these labels are used on Wikipedia.

I am sorry, but you are labeling the polls as partisan, which they are not. This is also not standard around Wikipedia, so now you are lying as well as committing vandalism. Kirby1706 (talk) 17:56, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Please read WP:OWN and WP:VAND. You can look at literally any non-Missouri related election article to see that this is not the case (e.g. 2022 Kansas gubernatorial election#Polling, 2022 Arkansas gubernatorial election#Polling, 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas#Polling 11, etc.) I will concede that this is not the standard that has been applied everywhere or even on all articles recently, but it seems pretty clear that it is at least a de facto standard to which editors attempt to apply in updating these lists.

Justification for John Wood

Simply asking on what grounds are we putting an independent candidate of no major standing on the election banner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babylonian Macedon (talk • contribs) 20:23, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

That's likely because he polled more than 5% in the latest SurveyUSA poll listed here. —twotwofourtysix^{(talk || edits)} 00:48, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Schmitt is the nominee already?

@JacksonianDemocrat: You changed the infobox to have Schmitt as the nominee, without updating the article or providing a source. The results I'm looking at only show 11% reporting and no winner called. If you don't provide a source, this change will need to be reverted. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 01:28, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Just called by CNN (with much more of the vote in), so I will add a source myself. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 01:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

August Busch Endorsements

Someone removed the source on his endorsement of Schmitt. If someone could find it that would be appreciated. Kirby1706 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
