LINK Presidential poll: Heads I win, tails you lose. | Aron Ra

I've seen polls like this with highly loaded questions before, produced by far right wing organizations like The Heritage Foundation.

Level 8

These are called push polls. Both Parties do it. I don’t know who responds to these polls or who believes them. Even the more reputable polling companies suffer from bias in how questions are framed.

Good answers, BTW 👍🏼

Level 8

Quite agree. The most efficient way of acquiring a reasonable understanding from responders, I would have thought, would be a 5 or 7 point Likert scale from ‘very dissatisfied’ to ‘very satisfied’

Yes/No polls are simply polarising.

mediafactcheck.com :

Overall, we rate Patheos Least Biased based on covering a wide range of topics that represent both the left and right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to individual bloggers not always sourcing properly.

Kudos for "Least Bias", not-so-much for "factual reporting"

Call me skeptical (please 😛 ), why is the SOURCE of this (alleged) Poll not reported ?
