RE:RE:RE:RE:Tax Reform!!! Reputable polling firms don't purposefully bias their results. No one would do business with them anymore. People love to point out when polls are wrong, but they forget polls have a margin of error and that a collection of polls will be more accurate than a single poll. Take the US election for example. The conservatives in the US would have you believe that polls were wrong, but you might be surprised to find that they actually called the election fairly accurately: i.e. Clinton won by over 2%. Magins of error increase at state levels because the samples are smaller, and that's what caused the surprise victory, but overall the polls did about as well as you should expect if weighed for house bias and sample sizes.
So are polls inaccurate? Yes, sometimes. Are they still a reliable way of finding out what people are thinking at a specific time? Also yes.
