On the contrary, the fact that most recent polls got it wrong (US election , Argentinian election & last Federal election here to name a few) proves my point.
The inability of Australian opinion polls to detect that the Morrison government was on track for victory at last year’s election was a case of “polling failure” rather than simply a “polling miss”, according to a newly published review. An inquiry into the performance of national polls has found the errors were not the result of a last-minute shift in voter sentiment, nor the impact of “shy conservatives” in which Coalition-supporting respondents deliberately misled pollsters. Instead, it found the most likely reason the polls underestimated the first preference vote for the Liberal and National parties and overestimated it for Labor “was because the samples were unrepresentative and inadequately adjusted”.
