The gist of the article is that polls are not accurate because far more people today are not willing to take a poll.

That’s why they were so far off in the Brexit poll and that’s why Trump is about to win in a landslide.

Caller ID has pretty much put the polling industry out of business.

I think that is very true, as well as the MSM not dealing with the reality of a Trump victory.

Not so fast.

Dr. Newhagen points out low income voters may be underrepresented in polls.

Low response rate is worrisome in that if Hillary voters do come home, it could save the day for her.

Same phenomenon is in play in undercounting Trump voters.

You don’t know for sure if you can trust the numbers.

How people will actually vote is more guesswork than established science.
