Here are some other aspects of polling that few consider. There are many polling sources to choose from. If a poll is taken that does not support the desired Liberal slant, it's just as easy to decide not to use that particular poll, or to bury it. Second, we assume every poll that is reported is truthfully and scientifically conducted. Why do we assume that? Are all polls audited and certified by an independent agency? Who would know if some poll results are made up, or if the reported results are untouched? Third, when conducting phone polls, pollsters can skew results by phoning only certain area codes that are known Liberal voting areas. Now I wonder how those poll results might come out...?
