It bears repeating as so many sheep don't realize it...The polling industry doesn't measure public opinion it produces it.titan said:Here is the dilemma. If you have a firestation on 8th street that is painted yellow with a circular open drive-way on top of a hill and 90% of the media says it is painted green with a covered drive-in next to a canal than you are easily going to get 70% of the people assuming it is painted green with a covered drive-in in a low spot next to a canal. They have no other reference. The only ones who will know different will be the ones who physically drive by it (investigate the primary source), skeptics that seek out current documentation of the edifice, those who know the terrain (history and law) and what can't be true, and the 30% that believe the counter-claim by the other party no matter what and take what happens to be true at face value.Rapier108 said:
Continuing to quote a discredited poll does not make it true no matter how much you want it to be.
There has been more than enough evidence, even things like Rolling Stone and NYT itself at times outing it, that the MSM has engaged in a whole-lot of coordinated work with the Democrats calling the firestation green.
So once again, a poll only measures what is believed because that is what people are told---not what is true.
Once you understand that simple truth everything else around polling makes perfect sense.
