That's only because they haven't seen the specifics.
- OpieCunningham 6y agoThat seems like an argument that could be made against literally every opinion poll. The “specifics” according to whom?
- tekknik 6y agoI once dug around to specifically find out how gallup accounts for population and they simply don’t show you. You just have to take their word on it. So until opinion polls give exact equations used and raw data so I can verify myself I completely ignore them.
- telotortium 6y agoYes, that is a problem with every opinion poll about a hypothetical policy proposal. Those polls aren't super useful for gauging how popular a concrete piece of legislation would be in practice.
