How much should political polls be trusted?

I got asked to do one this morning. Can you spot the issue with this one?

Well, that's an interesting way to design a poll question XD Very subtle, too.

I really hope it was an innocent error, but... it's kind of a massive error to make.

A nice unbiased poll...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeeeep. Either it's an unforgivable mistake, or it's the least unbiased poll ever. Neither option is good.

I... don't think that's a mistake. :(

Have you heard about the Republicans who were posting fake notices on twitter that you could vote by text? Targeting blacks and hispanics. :P And no, you can not vote by text. The more they trick into not voting, the better their odds.

I did hear about that, yes. It's something else, they keep crying about how the election is going to be stolen, yet they're the ones doing the stealing...

Ugh. Tuesday needs to get here!

Totally with you on that one!

I find it ironic that a billionaire, white man is whining that the system is rigged against him.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

And it was rigged... until he started closing in, then "maybe it will be fine". I swear to god, he's like a child. How are his supporters not seeing that?

[kelen.livejournal.com]

He is! I pray every day he's not elected. I can only assume they aren't wanting to see what's really there.

Hmmm. Seems like something is missing?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Hard to put my finger on what, but I think you're right! :P

Oh, dear.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I seem to be in the minority thinking it was just a bad mistake/poorly made poll.
