@Sheril@mastodon.social It's worse than that, I think general polling is no longer possible given fragmentation of the media space and direct distrust/willingness to lie in response to polling. The well has been poisoned, I think the methodology is fundamentally broken now. Trying to apply weighting factors and algorithmic “fixes" just turns polls into modeling with whatever biases the pollster or poll commissioner have. Averaging a collection of things like that will be useless.
