    Jeet Heer Retweeted Polling Canada

    It's strange to poll something that we actually know the answer to (but perhaps useful for measuring public knowledge?). The actual answers are Canada 20% and USA 36%. So off by roughly the same amount.https://twitter.com/CanadianPolling/status/1382001993833664518 …

        Wouldn't think be useful for studying biases in polling as well?

        Maybe tells us more about who gets polled but hard to quantify that vs dishonesty

        Yes - breakdown by age would likely be revealing. Polls in Canada also aim for geographic relevance; some regions (north in particular) are approaching 80-90% vaccination and would skew the national results

        It’s good to verify your polls. Like plugging answers back into the equation.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        The 36% reported on the NYT front page is all residents. Because children are less likely to receive them and also less likely to answer polls, you'd expect the polled number to be higher than 36% without incorrect responses being a factor.

        (FYI I thought Jeet was implying people were giving incorrect responses, I reread his original tweet and now don't think that is the case. Leaving my tweet up because it's still useful context.)
