[quote=Anonymous]DP, but someone who has worked in polling/market research. The poster who babbled about all poll questions being slanted is just wrong. The isn’t how it works in reputable polling. Now, yes, there are “polls” that ask questions in a slanted way, but those aren’t being conducted by the established polling organizations. Sample is and always has been a bit of a guessing game. You always have to weight samples based on best guesstimate of population. Good polling firms involve statisticians to help with this. But there is always a margin of error to try to account for the possible guesstimating errors. Polling isn’t an exact science, but it also isn’t just people making up numbers and fielding biased questionnaires[/quote]
