Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Competent and honest pollsters will (try to) adjust for factors like that. I have no comment on the polls in question.

I'm disappointed. Usually when this thread reawakens it is to a pithy and carefully considered contribution by Zorba 😉.

The problem with modern polling is that adjusting for biases in your polling sample is really difficult.

I'm surprised pollsters don't recruit panels who they poll on a regular basis. You would build up an idea how representative the panel was, and adjust it. Then sample from your panel for a given topic..

Got something to say?
