Inaccurate probably because conservatives are refusing to answer the pollsters questions because they no longer want to give pollsters information for Dems to use against the country.
The article is pathetic. The reason polls have come up clunkers is the increasingly condescending, hateful and belligerent treatment of conservatives by the elite media.
There has been far too many cases in recent days where previously protected political opinions have been dug out by unscrupulous partisan fanatics and used to punish the opinion holders.
So, supposed someone calls you on the phone and says he's XYZ polling company and wants your opinion about gay marriage, whether your support Obamacare, or if you have any Tea Party connections?
I'd like to think I'd answer the questions honestly, but some elderly Conservative living alone in a Democrat stronghold might be a bit more careful. And then, there's the IRS.
Certain political opinions have become dangerous in this day and age. The only safe place to express them is the ballot box — and maybe not even then.
Because they are done by leftists trying to guide voters in the direction they want them to go.
Skewed samples, skewed questions, skewed results.
The only answer to questions of this type is ‘That’s confidential’
No.
Blame the sorry state of the education of the average voter, particularly the delusional ones with college degrees, devoid of any clue of science, mathematics, logic or common sense.
They are oblivious to the easy manipulation of the language to get the desired results.
Most "polls" are PR companies in "science" costumes.
Who the hell answers the phone any more? Polls that are not representative are not going to be accurate. And if you cannot reach people, you are not being representative.
