We're inundated with polls nowadays: Are NHS reforms good or bad? Do you support AV? Is Iraq intervention more justified than Libyan? D'you care about Arts Council funding? Is Lady Gaga a genius?
Of course the answer you get depends on the question you ask. So we commissioned a poll on polls to see how the public at large views them.
a) Do you hate being rung up by pollsters?
b) Do polls make good headlines but are otherwise meaningless?
c) Do respondents give any old answer to get the polling organisation off the line?
d) Should you be asking who commissioned the poll in the first place and what they want out of it?
e) Do pollsters load the question to get the answer they want
e) Should you get paid as much for responding to a poll as the pollster does for asking the questions?
f) Do you give a damn?
Answers coming shortly....
