npub1tqltharn8mmngg849hs0qpyj2f8xt37uawvj0rqap6gpefg78dsqlyxvec (npub1tql…xvec) the hard part of polling is getting a representative sample of society. If you ask 10,000 people at a Swift concert who they're voting for the MOE will be very low but nowhere near the true value since the demographics of Swift concertgoers is not similar to that of voters as a whole
To get a representative sample you need to make assumptions about demographics and voting habits, and those assumptions are often wrong
