Polls, Polls, and More Polls

I don't write about public opinion polls. To me it's just a waste of time. Unfortunately, if you read any daily news coverage there is no way to avoid polls.

I believe most polls are biased to some degree by "self selection." If I answer my phone and it's Zogby trying to poll me, I can say no thanks and hang up. Nobody knows how many people refuse to participate in telephone survey's.

Dick Morris has an excellent column on the problems with polling here. Mr. Morris brings up some valid points in this article, such as the difficulty with landline phones vs cellphones in determining poll results. Go read the whole article.
