It actually says who the pollster is in the document linked in the OP, which contains the specific questions as well. The methodology is detailed there a little bit too, in the form of the first few questions, but you’d have to go learn a bit about how samples are determined and weighted from another source to get a better sense of what a typical American poll audience is like and what’s reasonable as a sample versus what isn’t. One notable feature about this poll is that it uses cellphone contacts, not just landlines like some still use, which I feel makes it a little more reliable. If you want some information about this specific pollster’s accuracy and reliability, you can look here:

You don’t see them talking about positions when it’s a list about performing skills.

And you don't see hive talking about positions when it comes to songwriting skills, production skills, playing instrumentals etc. Wonder why

You people live in a complete alternative universe. Swifties are in every B's thread. Just look at the 2nd post in the thread although there's a whole thread celebrating your fave. It's incredible. 

 

She's still pretty polarizing though. She scored very high on "Very Negative". 

Still, it's impressive that she's in those polls when she's past her celebrity peak. 

The “very negative” score likely comes from conservatives. A couple years back there was a poll and article where Beyoncé was the most considered the most divisive celebrity because of how favorable more people to the left view her in comparison.

Beyoncé is not that polarizing of an individual to the general public. FOX NEWS made her one of their most hated celebrities since the Cuba trip. From then, she was too sexual in ST w/ the feminism aspect, too racial in Lemonade, and too LGBTQ+ friendly with Renaissance, so it’s truly just more and more ammo for them paint her in a negative light to conservatives. Their social media pundits absolutely detest her too. Other than that, these polls don’t consider non-voters (which is a big amount of people), so she likely is more positively favored and not that controversial as a person to people outside a conservative based. The poll in this thread lacks the perspective of people that aren’t registered voters cause it’s to track voters’ opinion on politicians.

Instrumentals? I didn’t know playing instrumentals was a talent. Bey’s instrument is her voice, She is not a bar singer.
And now having budget for big productions is a talent as well? Oh wow.

[FightDragonsWithMe]

Happy for both Beyoncé & Taylor. Two legends dominating

I know artists composing or producing their own songs is a foreign concept for you considering who you stan but some of our faves produce their own music too. The result of multi-talent

This doesn’t make sense because Beyonce has written, produced, and played instruments. Playing a guitar/piano okay isn’t as impressive as having one of if not the best vocals in the music industry.

Written, produced, played, and sung by Beyonce and what’s ironic is she’ll sound better singing on that piano than Taylor ever will be id still say a song like Wildest Dreams is better or Getaway Car because writing  producing and playing an instrument doesn’t make a song superior. Sometimes you need to collaborate with others to make something really special or catchy. I’d take an Alien Superstar with its sample over the song I linked

The fact that you're so proud of a bland blonde white woman being #1 over a proud black woman is an ugly look.

production skills

You really thought you ate...  but you began foaming at the mouth, couldn't stop yourself, and went too far. Sad!

Beyonce is one of the best producers in the game.

She knows what she wants, can flip a trash demo into a gem off of her production notes alone, and has the production respect of so many. Off the dome (notable people I can pull specific B-production receipts for right now):

 

Spoiler

Caroline Polachek, The-Dream, Rockwilder, 9th Wonder, Just Blaze, MNEK, Sia, Cool & Dre. 

I've heard those Taylor's Version re-recordings and we all know Taylor isn't in the production conversations. If she is, she should be ashamed.

No. Like This:

 

The only other person credited was the Shuggie Otis instrumental sample. 

 

More? If you're looking for hits? 

 

Both of these were beats earmarked for other people (Chad Elliott and Lil' Kim, respectively) that made it to Beyonce's folder and the producers will tell you they were shocked when they heard the completed song for the first time in its' entirety.

This is a presidential poll conducted on registered voters to find out the popularity of all prominent politicians including trump and Biden, as well as hot topics like Israel/palestine, Ukraine and others. 
 

t swift and bey was thrown in to get a sense of what a popular and positive figure’s favorability looks it. 
 

this is not a random celebrity poll.

Beyonce is a skilled songwriter, producer, and an overall talented person. She's better than Taylor in all of these skills, even at songwriting.

It's crazy you're saying this considering how Beyoncé is a LITERAL WIFE.

[Soda Pop Queen]

Not that this matters much in the Amerikkka, but how come I never get polled for these? I've been a registered voter since I was 20. They must take from a very small pool of people. 

[Sexyzinger]

So Taylor is #1?
