Blah, Blah, Blah, Lies, damn lies and worst of all bad statistics. You’d think they’d learn from the fiasco in 2016, 2018, etc.

As apolitical scientist I have taken and created many polls, surveys, studies etc. There is ALWAYS bias. You cannot control for all of it. Most importantly (info the polls won’t share) there is deliberate sampling bias in selecting and weighting who participates.

I know. But, it is good to be upbeat, cling to signs of hope.

“There is ALWAYS bias. You cannot control for all ...”

And there’s the matter of who paid for the poll.
