Too Big to Fail

When 99% of the people you try to contact don't respond, doesn't the poll result say more about the type of people who respond to polls than it does about the electorate as a whole? Like, what are we even doing at this point?

Yes, but there still has to be a correlation between likelihood of response and voter intent across political party, race, and region, to get a big effect. IMO the answer is "yes, there probably is something to non-response bias" in this election

It's very weird that people are still attending to this.

An extremely high percentage of Democratic voters don't answer their phones to unknown numbers. We are too smart for that.
