Owen on Nostr: Polling aggregation is supposed to produce a more accurate result with a higher level ...
Polling aggregation is supposed to produce a more accurate result with a higher level of confidence.
So perhaps someone can. Explain to me why the polling aggregation would miss the real world outcome by more than the MOE indicated in the individual polls.
I don't actually understand the nuances of statistics but this gives me the vibes that polling is largely a fake science.
