You really think democracy can’t possibly work without opinion polling?
It would mean a population of voters informed solely by propaganda or not at all.
99% of opinion polling is propaganda. It’s relatively easy to make the outcome of a poll whatever you want it to be, especially when most of your viewers/readers don’t (or can’t) dig into it to find the raw polling data. And even when a poll doesn’t go the way you’d like, you can just bury it or refuse to publish it and run another poll until you get the result you wanted.

I mean, if you invent ones that frequently, yeah, but who cares when people who don’t know about stats make up stats?
That’s literally the point I’m trying to make here,you’re so close to getting it
