Yes, some people are never polled. But the “secret sauce” and man made logarithms to curve data in various directions is a yuge danger, too.
Zogby once explained his “secret sauce” meant evening out anomalies in ongoing data. So let’s say 80% of people want strict law enforcement and also want its opposite total end of police departments by 79%. Something’s wrong. So he adjusts it. Or tosses it. Maybe now says “If an unjust action by police is unpunished do you favor....”
Poll may have no people who work at night and aren’t there to be contacted by a pollster on the sidewalk downtown at Noon. Or Never go downtown. Or have a landline phone but no cell.
Or never talk to pollsters when called but vote every time. Afraid they will be fingered for an unpopular opinion. Are here illegally and afraid pollster is an agent.
Question I always hate is: Do you approve of the direction the country is going”
No, I want leftists brought to justice and punished now.(my answer)
Or no, Dems say they have to have Trump gone or they’ll kill themselves.
So both say “No.”
And how do we know that leftist polls are actual polls? No one takes sealed boxes of their data printouts and goes over them like the IRS for taxes. What if I have a polling company and I’ll make up lots of phony results? Who challenges the data I SAY I collected? The FDA looks at food, the IRS looks carefully at earnings. Who guarantees polls?
Exactly.
The key question is:
....and who do you think your neighbor would vote for?
