“If in 2016 the pollsters had Trump down......”

Many, many, years ago I took a class (can’t remember what it was called) but polls were brought up. They said polls are worthless as the answer you get is based on HOW the question was asked.

I have heard that....but just look at the ridiculous polls of 2016. Trump had a 7% chance? To her 93%. I guess it’s possible that everyone they asked thought she was a sure thing, so they just answered that way. Seems pretty strange.

How the first question is phrased determines the results.
