There are 2 kinds of polls :-
1) Demographic phone polls: Run by supposed reputable polling companies, these are statistically designed to be a representative sample of the whole population (about 400 people at a time or something)
2) Straw polls: Unscientific online or meet-up polls more indicative of supporter enthusiasm than of actual countrywide intentions.
We all know about the supposed option 6 which doesn't seem to allow you to pick Ron Pail.
Has anyone actually answered a demographic phone poll which allowed you to select Ron Paul and seemed to record your vote correctly?
If not it is about time we started writing formal queries to Rasmussen and all their industry peers.
