2020-10-05 14:03:35 UTC  

> the polls are so rigged
@Memologist Ph.D.

How so?

2020-10-05 14:52:28 UTC  

well there are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics

2020-10-05 14:52:55 UTC  

Yeah, and polls aren’t perfect, but they’re the best tool that we have to measure public opinion

2020-10-05 14:53:05 UTC  

They’re not rigged

2020-10-05 14:53:39 UTC  

well if polls like to only interview like minded people

2020-10-05 14:53:44 UTC  

it's bad

2020-10-05 14:53:50 UTC  

Yeah, but they don’t

2020-10-05 14:55:19 UTC  

If you were conducting a poll, would you want it to be inaccurate? If it turned out on Election Day that your poll was completely wrong, it would be a public embarrassment for you. Because of this, most poll companies try to be as accurate as possible.

2020-10-05 14:56:23 UTC  

people also love flash stat numbers. so always take things with a grain of salt

2020-10-05 14:58:40 UTC  

??

2020-10-05 14:59:04 UTC  

What I mean is people love being able to say numbers

2020-10-05 14:59:18 UTC  

I mean, I guess so

2020-10-05 14:59:18 UTC  

But

2020-10-05 14:59:21 UTC  

like the polls are useful

2020-10-05 14:59:27 UTC  

Yeah

2020-10-05 14:59:42 UTC  

but also remember that it's a tiny fraction of a population

2020-10-05 14:59:56 UTC  

I agree, but it’s the best sample we have

2020-10-05 15:00:06 UTC  

weird how many people treat them like the end all

2020-10-05 15:00:13 UTC  

Yeah

2020-10-05 15:00:46 UTC  

like when any other country than the US gets with by a tornado

2020-10-05 15:01:34 UTC  

it's big news, and depend on small the country is it makes it more hit per square inch then the US

2020-10-05 15:35:06 UTC  

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.robesonian.com/opinion/columns/135745/political-polls-tend-to-be-crafted-to-achieve-desired-results/amp. There is an article discussing polling and why it is inaccurate. I didn’t have the opportunity to read it all.

2020-10-05 17:08:26 UTC  

yes i agree, they're inaccurate

2020-10-05 20:22:28 UTC  

its the people who conduct the polls

2020-10-05 20:22:37 UTC  

and the people being polled

2020-10-05 20:23:06 UTC  

ever notice how the "undecided" percentage is usually quite large

2020-10-05 20:57:39 UTC  

what the shit is wrong with the leftists these days?

2020-10-05 21:01:54 UTC

2020-10-05 21:09:18 UTC
