Not really because it accomplishes your second point
What’s worse, it gives the false impression there is a good vs bad side in the debate.
Polls are not designed to reveal the opinion of the people, they are designed to mold it, and as such, have been working well for over 50 years. This is why, as Rush said last week, we are seeing no polls on the vulnerable democratic senate seats.
I can agree with that. To people like you and I who are interested in the truth getting out, it is less than worthless.
It spreads the big lie.
Now it may have value to a disinformation specialist, but I don’t consider you to be someone interested in advancing that sort of project.
