The launch of an agency broke the electoral silence with a poll posted by mistake. During the course of last night, the news agency Ansa published an Ipsos survey commissioned by the Prime Minister on a representative sample. The research topic was voting intentions in the constitutional referendum and the satisfaction of political leaders. All this within a week of the day that will call millions of Italians to the polls.
Despite the cancellation of the agency launch and the director’s apologies Luigi Contu, many on social networks express perplexity, starting with YouTrend founder, Lorenzo Pregliasco, who comments: “Something like this has never happened.”
Referendum, Ansa publishes poll by mistake
Just a week after the referendum on the reduction of parliamentarians, the main topic of public debate in recent times, Ansa defeats “by mistake” poll commissioned by Prime Minister Conte, at the head of the coalition that promoted the referendum itself.
The data was published around 7 pm yesterday, Friday 11. We do not report it here because prohibits the transmission of political or electoral polls within 15 days before the vote, but it’s easy to imagine which side they were in favor of.
The launch of the Ansa is initially noticed on Twitter by Pregliasco, who, a couple of hours later, reports that the news was later deleted. “I don’t remember anything like this happening in the middle of the pre-election blackout”Comments the founder of YouTrend.
ANSA released the data from a survey commissioned by the Prime Minister, then recently, after about 2 hours, sent a cancellation notice.
I do not remember that something like this happened in a total pre-election blackout https://t.co/1K7SumvoTW

The manager’s apologies
“It was a mistake and we apologize. As soon as we found out, we canceled and deleted the news. How should you do when you are sadly wrong?”, Then writes the director of the news agency.

Contu’s apologies were not enough to appease the controversy, since many, on social networks, raise the hypothesis of a “hand” that would have pressed for the publication of the survey. Ahead Guido Crosetto, who comments with a sardonic “mah”.
