5. Why I Never take Polls Seriously
Edited on Wed Sep-14-11 09:32 AM by fredamae
Polls are only as reliable as the honesty of the questions asked in the geographic area they poll.

Pollsters carefully word their questions to garner a specific response from the chosen target group they are most certain to get the sought after responses.
It adds to the Illusion that something that Is Not-Is in order to sway and direct the preferred broader public message/opinion.
FWIW, I NEVER get polled, do you?

7. Field is one of the better polls unfortunately. What bothers me is the forum that is given on the
MSM from those who are out to get him, while the other view is hardly heard from

6. Especially since all polls can be manipulated. I put little credibility in them.
