That Doesn't Sound Like Something I Would Say, Part Deux

But I repeat myself:

"The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from January 20 –24, 2021 among a representative randomized sample of 1,559 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum"

Get that: a self selected panel of Angus Reid Forum members. and the Forum:
"ARI is a national, not-for-profit, non-partisan public opinion research foundation"

Sure it is. Media who flog such nonsense must think readers are idiots. During this lock down, no serious random sampling polling is possible. Instead we get pseudo surveys from connected sources telling the government what it wishes to hear.


(Sidebar: see here.)


Polls: saying things that no one thought ever.
