Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

Anyone out there qualified to answer this question?

Why is there no margin-of-error in the results from reputable online polling?

This is so common for political polls now, yet it seems they are automatically not as reliable as traditional telephone polling. Or is my conclusion wrong/misguided.

If anyone is a statistician or polling expert out there, I'd love to know!

The 🇨🇦 Resistance

One way that citizens are manipulated is through repeatedly publishing #polls that show a decisive win for one side or the other.

Polls that show a decisive victory for your preferred #leader or #party can get people thinking that they don't need to #vote -- because there are enough voters to assure victory.

Alternately, polls can discourage voters by convincing them the other party is assured victory.

IGNORE POLLS. PLAN TO VOTE, THEN VOTE!

If you experienced relativistic time dilation on the scale of a few days (let's say a week), would you celebrate your birthday a week later from then on to compensate? Keen to hear your justifications for both yes or no. #polls
