Exactly! and furthermore, all web polls are fundamental sampling errors (or “survey bias”) in that you have to have visited the web page, very likely for another reason, to take the poll. (“Our poll conducted on our Guns-n-Ammo page indicate strong support for no laws restricting guns!”) For instance, (i confess) i’m fond of DailyKos, which conducts ad-hoc polls all the time, you can guess how all those polls trend just given that much information. …accurate polling in a highly connected world is all but impossible.
