Do I wanna take a poll? Hell No. Not now, not ever.
By definition a poll is a cross section of the target demography. In actuality it is a cross section of a targeted demography. Those who have do-not-call phone numbers need not respond, and won’t. Conservatives, for the most part, will not give information just because somebody wants them to respond. Liberals are happy to give their opinions. That’s why they have those names. The outcome of any poll or survey can be skewed to show whatever the poll taker desires. What amazes me is that anyone is foolish enough to pay for or believe any poll. We have little imagination if we don’t understand the underlying manipulation behind polls and surveys. They aren’t for gathering information, they are for influencing information.
Those who give credence to the opinions of some unseen voices truly do get the government or viewpoint they deserve.
