Do you wonder how Biden is absolutely crushing it in the polls, when nobody you know supports him?
Wonder why you've never actually spoken with a political pollster yourself?
Think political polls play too big a role in American politics today?
If not -- you should! Consider....
- Most pollsters rely upon calls to landline phones and single-digit response rates, resulting in poll estimates that are increasingly unrepresentative of the US population at large.
- American media nevertheless maintains an outsized focus on polls during political races, from the earliest rumors of a person announcing their candidacy up through election night.
- Polls increasingly wield power in shaping public perception of which candidates are "electable" (*coughcoughJoeBidencough*), which candidates get to participate in public debates (a la the Fox News GOP debates in 2016), and which candidates get the most resources -- including time, money, and of course media attention -- from the earliest stages of large political races.
- All of this sets up a potentially self-fulling prophecy, where the "most electable" candidates (as determined by early, sketchy polls) garner the most attention and resources, and so quickly become the *actual* frontrunners -- whether or not the majority of Americans want them to be!
