Allrighty then. You won’t take his word he is a paid shill, so nothing I can present will change your mind.

All polling is paid shillery.
Published polling is done solely to sway opinion, so we call it “push polling.”
Internal polling, on the other hand is done scientifically, to extract vital information. Those polls are rarely disclosed.
Luntz’ focus groups actually serve both purposes, since the participants are fairly randomly selected, but their group answers can be somewhat modulated by the wording of his questions. They are thus somewhat scientific in many ways.
