We should stop paying attention to polls because with a known 'fixer' |
|
like Karl Rove, polls are irrelevant in predicting the outcomes of any future elections in the U.S.
Stalin said,"it is not who votes that counts;it is who counts the votes." That Uncle Joe, he cracks me up with his jokes from the grave.

2. Polls are irrelevent even when they aren't fixed. |

They are next to meaningless, you cant quantify opinion. The Polls are rarely large enough, the samples never random enough. And the basic logic behind the conlusion is unsound.
Prove to me that the answer to a standerdized question(designed to produce quantifiable results) on the phone is representative of that person's overall opinion.
It is a rediculous overprocessing and overanalysis of useless data and it has led to a mythology that helps to render our society a joke.
Opinions, even the opinions of 'average' people are very complex nuanced and constantly changing.
