Poll

The SMH do online polls, as per the picture below.

I would love to explain to them that there are no ‘scientific’ polls, except those on the subject of science.

What they mean is that the results have virtually no ‘statistical significance’. That is they are almost certainly distorted since they are sampling people that (a) could be bothered reading the SMH online, and (b) could be bothered answering an online poll question.

The results would be so distorted that there is no use looking at the results. Hence there is no point having the poll either.
