Big Dave (formerly from Big D) posts this rumination on polling…
"Remember this about polls. People now lie to pollsters routinely, fearing the collection and use of data against them in the future. There is far more fear of this being done by leftists than conservatives, with good reason. Cheating, unfair advantages….. It’s how they roll.
Walker had a 2-3x larger victory than the polls foretold. On the same night, the MSM repeated a poll that showed Obama leading Wisconsin 52-43% over Romney. They wanted us to know this recall loss didn’t mean Obama would lose Wisconsin. But.. Obama’s name makes people lie to pollsters that much more than they already do.. They don’t want to be called racists, so they overstate their support for him. It’s a side effect of the left playing the race card so often. I suspect any poll with Obama in it is likely to be even more inaccurate than a state election like this one was. There is good reason to fear the collection and use of information against individual voters, with Google being a frequent guest in the White House and with Facebook coming under the new scrutiny of millions because they fear their personal data being collected and sold as a part of a new business model of the newly accountable FB. Personal data is the new plastics, the new “black gold”, the new way to make bazillions of dollars. Not to mention, if you’re unscrupulous, you can use personal data with political meaning to exert some pressure on individuals in the future. I’m thinking of the mailed list of neighbors who voted and did NOT vote in the last election, the one that was received by people all over Wisconsin this week. Those who fear the collection of data and its use against them are far from nuts; this is where the future is headed, and quickly. - (bold emphasis added)
So, Wisconsin proves the MSM and the left were utterly wrong about the fading away of the tea party. The protests are over, and the background work is well under way. You don’t see us, but wow, do you hear from us in the voting booth. It also proves that polling can no longer be trusted– by ANYBODY. The inside polls of the pros aren’t any better than the public polls when the people are knowingly lying to and misleading pollsters. The longer term side effect of leftist tactics has been to rob them of the tool of good polls. Without them, the left will have only their warped and hateful perspective to guide them to future victories." - (bold emphasis added)
