    I often feel the same--never been polled. (On the other hand, are you saying all polls are fake news if they don't poll you or someone you know?)https://twitter.com/missygirl32/status/1030859446434652161 …

        It is interesting... I've never been polled or any of my friends and family either. We would often wonder during primaries how they were coming up with these numbers.

        I feel the same about exit polls. I live in Franklin County Ohio, ground zero for presidential elections, and have never seen exit pollers even one time. I can’t figure out who the heck they poll!

        Bottom line. The majority of news outlets lean left, just as majority of reporters are Democrats. Polls almost always oversample Democrats and this is a big reason Dems failed to predict @realDonaldTrump would win. They were blind to biased polling, & still are.

        We get polled all the time, although never answer the phone. It is too convenient for the pollster to enter whatever answer they want to enter. Polling is truly worthless.

        Hillary winning at 95 percent pretty much told me that polls are fake. You can get any result you want if you talk to certain people

        Given the abysmal performance of "respected" polls in predicting the 2016 election results, I'd say yes, the large majority of polls are fake news, whether they include me or my friends, or not.

        I’m in my 30s. I’ve never been polled, ever. None of my family or friends have either(as of early 2017 when we were talking about it). Is that unusual? Why do you get polled regularly? Is that unusual?

        On a related note I'll never be polled because I would never give them the time of day. I know they try to correct for the skew that people like me represent, but seriously doubt they can.

        I don't think most polls are fake. I think they're accurate measurements of a set of assumptions. The only problem is that most media never insert the clause, "If the assumptions in this poll are true, then...". And most consumers of the data don't know to, either.

        Plus, I don't think any of these polls are accurate. Who are they targeting? Is it comprehensive? I don't know who these people are. Lol
