    It’s difficult to do polling and social science well. The kind of answers you want cost a lot of money to obtain. Aside from that, conservatives don’t like to admit that they lost publicly or… anywhere else, often not even to themselves.

      Polling relies on people answering the phone or mail so you largely get responses from uneducated and out of touch people

          There’s no control when there’s no way to verify the accuracy of what people are telling you. You can’t verify their income, race, age, social status, truthfulness of answers (a recent problem was people not admitting they were Trump fans in 2016).
