It’s like reading. I don’t look at letters and think “that’s an A and that’s a B”.
It’s just “Miata, Civic, Explorer, etc”
Or recognizing people. I just know all these strangers names and faces.
What if reform the classist society? Checkmate Luxemburg.
No, modern polling is mostly useless. The respondents skew heavily in one direction (old people that answer the phone).
There is no sample size big enough to account for a complete cultural shift away from answering phone calls and text messages from people you don’t know.
Most polls report a response rate of about 90%, as reported by a PEW analysis of available studies. However, that is a made up number which does not account for attrition (quitters) or non-response to panel recruitment (no answers). If you include those numbers the real response rate is about 3%. Which means between the initial contact and giving their opinion 97% of people asked don’t participate in a given poll.
