In the midst of a presidential race, we are constantly bombarded with polls that claim to tell us what the voter is thinking. Just stop for a moment and ask yourself, “Do you believe that a sampling of 2,000 to 3,000 voters will accurately represent the thinking of 200 million voters?”
The pollsters will argue in a million ways that their results are valid when it is obvious they are ridiculous. A pollster’s margin of error of plus or minus 4% to 8% is a huge variance that invalidates all results. The only poll that counts is on Election Day. Vote for the future of America.
