“Response rates in telephone surveys have resumed their decline”

Pew Research is reporting that fewer people are willing to participate in polling, and in large part that may be due to the deceptive polling techniques that skew real attitudes.

Oddly enough, their report doesn’t give DISTRUST any thought at all. But the presence of push-polling has become a very real, constant issue, eroding confidence in polling.

This can only work in favor of those who are okay with skewed polling to continue, because they will be the only ones willing to participate in deceptive polling.
