I've seen a few polls on here lately where the poll setter has set out to make it obvious that they're not interested in a balanced sample.

What do you think about obviously biased polls designed to affirm the poll setter's prejudice

Polls on here are just for fun. It’s not like they’re correcting for a biased sample or anything. Very few people even have a vague idea of how polling works to begin with.

@LeopoldBloom I'll give an example of what I mean: There was a "poll" which asked, if I remember correctly, something like "What percentage of your anti-Israel bias is due to your own personal problems?" and the options were a) 100% and b) 99.99 %. There was one in similar vein about how terrible a president Biden has been.

@autumngirl27 it's just another way of trolling, and not to be taken seriously. I've seen them too. It's a 🖕 to anyone who thinks differently from them.
