I never trust these polls. These are privately run news companies, why wouldn’t they want people to think it’s normal to approve of a CEO having too much power?
all national polling is so shot. Hardly anyone I know has even bothered to answer their phone for election polling (or at all given the intense volume of spam callers presently). Who tf is answering a CBS about the muskrat brigade??? They’re probably just calling the same 20 people who are glued to cable news and pushing a percent or two around to make the numbers look better.
Yeah honestly at this point I think phone polling is less than worthless. By using that method you are inherently selecting for a non-representative sample of the population.
It’s not a good method for finding the opinions of “the average American” because “the average American” doesn’t answer unknown calls.
Even if it’s no rigged, national polling is increasingly inaccurate. It’s all done by phones and anyone under 45 just lets anonymous numbers go to voicemail now. The only people getting polled are lonely grannies who will gladly talk the ear off of any human who will listen.
Sorry, but it’s just not true that national polling is all done by phones. The vast majority of national polling in recent years is done online. PEW Research article
That’s even worse, not only are you losing all the grannies who whatever there faults are probably giving their actual (racist) opinions on things which is better than people getting payed $1 for every 100 surveys they complete picking random answers or roboforming
regardless all polling is pretty much useless and can be tailored to give whatever result those running it wanted
Oh c’mon, that is blatantly reactionary. It’s not worse just because it’s new and you’re unfamiliar with it.
The benefits of online opt-in panels are that they’re far cheaper, and that participation rates are much higher.

$1/survey is a standard rate for many reputable polls. Online opt-in panels often include dozens of weed-out questions and cross-checking of your answers against your previous survey results to mitigate those issues.

Nihilism is so in right now. But seriously, statistical surveys can be peer-reviewed and graded on past performances. I’m not saying it’s perfect, obviously, but you’re throwing the baby out with the bath water here.
