Polling and the Disconnect with Everyday Americans

There is a disconnect between the media polls and what everyday Americans care about. Polls are being used as propaganda, shaping narratives rather than providing true insights. Polling based on probability sampling is more accurate and can utilize various methods like telephone, mobile phone, or internet-based surveys. However, convenience sampling and biased questioning can lead to misleading results. There is also a lack of curiosity in polling, with repetitive questions that don't capture the nuances of public opinion. This disconnect can fuel cynicism and disincentivize voter participation.
