    Data is all fine and dandy, but these datasets are created from a very small control group. When is the last time you picked up the phone from a random unknown or unlisted phone? I haven’t gotten one of these calls in well over 20 years. The only people answering these are those who still have landlines or don’t care to screen out these mubers. These are the same people that are constantly falling for phone scams and losing their savings.

    Polling data may as well be the bible. While it is all fine and dandy on the outside, someone in the back room has carefully adjusted content to fit their own needs and goals.

      The control group is 9 times larger than when they usually do these surveys.

      Sample size is not an issue, learn to accept reality
