I hope the majority of the worthless pollsters get buried by Tuesday’s election results.
It is a dying industry. Matt Towery of Insider Advantage says that this may be the last cycle for polling. Due to response bias pollsters can no longer get a representative sample.
The few pollsters (Trafalgar, People’s Pundit/Big Data, Democracy Institute) who have been succeeding are doing it by using varying modes each of which comes with its own pros and cons. But, the large, well known firms continue with methodologies that cannot produce the necessary representative sample in a period where people no longer answer their phones.
You are likely to get your wish that much of the industry will get buried by Tuesday’s election results.
