Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The problem is that when polls are wrong, they tend to be wrong in the same direction. If they miss in New Hampshire, for instance, they all miss on the same mistake.
I find it odd that there's such strong objection to what is a clear way to assure that our elections are reliable and we can do a recount if there are any questions.
I think we can spend too much time worrying about polls.
Polling only works in a country without a depressed, frightened populace. Where the public trusts authorities enough to tell them the truth without fear of retribution.
I'm a believer in the polls, by the way. Rarely do you see a poll that's very far off.
Don't worry about polls, but if you do, don't admit it.
Polling in a general election is pretty accurate, because turnout is usually high.
There are so many things the people who take polls never get around to asking.
I have never had an interest in opinion polls. They are merely an indicator, that's all.
It's not opinion polls that determine the outcome of elections, it's votes in ballot boxes.
