Is The US Polling Profession 'Done' After Election Misses

 


Frank Luntz declared that “the polling profession is done” after this year's presidential election, in which a number of polls appeared to show a much brighter picture in various states for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. “The political polling profession is done,” Luntz told Axios early Wednesday morning. “It is devastating for my industry.” 

Beyond the presidential election, which remains close on Wednesday, many pollsters were projecting that Democrats would gain House seats and the Senate majority. 


WNU Editor: Nothing is going to change. The pollsters did their job. Their job was to shape opinion and suppress the vote.

I would not pay the pollsters, but I am also not making those decisions. Waste of time, money and mental capital.

I would say that US Polling is a good reflection of how information (MSM) is to delivered to the masses, highly skewed and highly inaccurate. If information was distributed fairly and accurately there would be no need for this conversation.

1.Americans love polls
2. this site uses them all the time while dismissing some results they do not care for.
3. Now that polls seem not to work as they should, would you ever look at one posted here or anywhere again? Why?

The polling industry joins the NYT, MSNBC, etc., as members of this country for which there are more accurate and/or less biased sources for the information that I seek.
