Dick Morris says telephone polling is no longer reliable because it’s becoming increasingly difficult to reach a representative sample of Americans. At the moment, we appear to be in a period of uncertainty between the decreasing reliability of telephone polls and the increasing reliability of internet polls. Is this situation good or bad? Polls have become a intellectual crutch for politicians, journalists, and voters. I can’t help but think that an era of unreliability in polling might lead to a renaissance in critical thinking.
The Rhetorica Network
I offer commentary on the rhetoric of the American conversation, especially as it unfolds in documentary film, the news media, and politics. Check out my feeds on Twitter and Instagram. Also be sure to see my work at Carbon Trace Productions, a non-profit documentary film studio in Springfield, Missouri. I am a Professor of Media & Journalism at Missouri State University.
