Proud Minnesotan John Horvick, pollster, for DHM Research continues to be NOT transparent about the research instrument Horvick uses to conduct his polls. DHM polling company had a bidding interest in the social media surveilling contract that British company Logically AI, Inc signed on March 8, 2024 for the General Election. Friends with the Oregonian and Willamette Week, Horvick's polling methodology lacks validity, reliability and transparency, thus Oregonians will be looking for another trifecta of manipulating articles for the up-coming General Election. It's kind of cute they believe citizens don't know they are a partisan trifecta.

Who will make it to the November 5, 2024 finish line? 

What kind of interference will the Oregonian, Willamette Week and their pollster friend, John "Proud Minnesotan" Horvick, try to create as happened in 2022? Inquiring Oregonians want to know.
 

If John Horvick, pollster and vice-president of DHM Research, wants his company regarded as honest and up-front with having integrity Horvick must post the audios on the 300 some citizens called in his opening salvo poll for the General Election Season about to get underway. The results of ANY POLL MEAN NOTHING unless the underlying research instrument can be viewed or heard.

The first and most basic lesson learned in taking a graduate school research class is how is the research set up, including the script used in calling people on the phone, and then is the research instrument, in this case the audio, available to listen to on the polling calls?

 Horvick claimed in the Sunday Oregonian of having a stellar methodology to their polling, however, DHM Research's method lacks validity, reliability and transparency. 

The Oregonian reported:

"Portland-based DHM Research surveyed 600 registered voters in the Portland metro area in late April and found that 45% of them approve of Kotek’s performance while 45% disapprove."

But, the voting public does not have audio access to hear the polling calls. 

Truth in the Pacific Northwest called out Horvick and his friends at the Oregonian and the Willamette Week for what looked like a trifecta to keep Non-affiliated candidate Betsy Johnson running for governor in 2022 from gaining any more momentum from the first positivity that emerged after her announcement to run.

Horvick was asked for the audio polling in 2022 DHM Research conducted on the governor's race. Crickets. Now two years later, again, audio is not in Horvick's methodology related to reliability, validity and transparency.

Richard Baris with Big Data Poll discovered machinations, some may say collusion, between media, polling companies, and the Uni-Party DINOs and RINOs.

"The media makes money by covering the election as an exciting horse race, who's had a good day and a bad day. The pollsters make money by keeping score in the horse race — who's ahead and who's behind. All of that is misleading or worse.” - Allan Lichtman, a historian at American University called the 2016 presidential election accurately.

In the 2022 Election Horvick's polling company used Common Core math at times. DHM Research is not the only polling company making hay with the "results" of their polling. It is a national issue as well.

Oregonians since 2020 have been self-educating more and more. Public schools are losing students every year since 2020. A recent Harvard study gave home schooling high marks. Teacher unions and other unions are losing members over forced taking of their money that is used in political campaigns. 2024 will not be the same ole rodeo.

 Voters have gotten out their magnifying glasses and are watching
