    Also the 2024 election.

    Almost all of the polls were within the MOE. The polls said it was a toss up, and it was.

    Also the bc provincial election last year. Pretty sure the last federal election polls Also were wrong.

    The results for both of these were very close to what the polls predicted. Not sure why you felt they were off?

    Polls are instantly biased by the type of people that answer polls, or the audience that the polls are based on.

    Very true, which is the job of pollsters to adjust for. And, as I’ve said, I think they are pretty good at their jobs.
