Most polling is a joke
The poll's sponsor, the poll's conductors, the weather, the questions, and dozens of other things affect results.
If you conducted a poll like this:
1 - Do you like the supplies and aid that the USA has sent to the Tsunami victims?
2 - Do you like the Jerry Lewis movies that the USA made?
3 - Do you like the USA?
I suspect the results would be 88% or more like the USA.
The two firms that did the Nov. election exit polls said yesterday that the problems were caused by poorly trained pollsters, young pollsters, election officials who kept pollsters away from poll exits, etc. etc.
Another contributor is disgust. A lot of people are tired of polls making news, and deliberately lie to pollsters.
Most polling is a joke.
