Down the drain goes the credibility of the Angus Reid polling pundits


With the following sentence, both Angus Reid and the Globe&Mail  have shown us what utter fools they are   or maybe they are just dreamers ... dreaming of getting  rid of Harper and the Conservatives.
After removing those who said they would not vote or were undecided, fully 50 per cent of Canadians surveyed said they would vote for a joint NDP or Liberal candidate. 
Or could it be that they are manipulators of the truth. Seasoned politicians like Stephen Harper, who is known to never take polls seriously, is absolutely right.  With pollsters like Angus Reid ... everything polls tell you is suspect.  Angus Reid lost their reputation for unbiased polling long ago ... when was the last time they were proven correct or even somewhere near the actual outcome?

Time and time again I see results of polling in  the Globe & Mail or the CBC and everytime I find that neither moi, nor anybody in my family, nor any of my friends were polled.  That's missing out on the input of close to 100 potential voters....at every single polling.

I am sure others too wonder how these pollsters can come out with bullshit percentages .... do they have a ready-made list they use time and time again and are the people on that list known to give them the kind of input they are looking for or have some of  them fine-tuned a list from other listings of people they know from previous surveys to be left-leaning?

Me thinks ..."YES".
