The political race they were trying to predict was a much smaller difference than the reliability of different makes of automobiles. Your comparison is just plain silly.

Car quality hasn't yet improved enough to make quality differences irrelevant. About 90% of the best cars in Popular Mechanics' surveys are troublefree in the first year, while the average is about 75%. IOW the average car now isn't even as reliable as a Toyota Corolla was in the 1980s.

I think you have to separate the CR reporting and analysis from the subscriber's experiences.
When CR reports on a new car, then they are passing the car around among the staff for input on the report. To the extent the staff likes the same things about a car that you or I like, then they might produce a good report. But the Buyer's Guide is not a report by the staff of CR, it is a tabulation of input by the actual owners of the cars that appear in the charts.
You are talking about the apples, I'm talking about the oranges.
