Coffee and Covid is reporting on another polling company that was fake and closed it doors. That makes three such firms in the last two months, and I can't help but go, "and of them were pushing supposed great numbers on behalf of Democrats." 

Having done polling in the past and having argued with a coworker that no, we were NOT going to do push polling, I've grown incredibly leery of polling in general. I might still quote them, but I know how the margin of error numbers can be used to spin both ways. 

But that isn't the good news. Go read there about all FBI officials who made false statements to Congress and the DOJ has charged them. Original article at the Washington Post.

Who answers polls nowadays, when anyone who understands much knows they can be fake and used against you.

While this image is about the workplace, I have even less faith in online, phone, text, etc. surveys
