Polling has become a mess, mainly because we can no longer rely on landlines for generating unbiased samples. Most attempts at fixing this issue, such as online polling, have their own massive biases. So it’s incredibly difficult to figure out what’s real and what’s not. And no, doing a hundred bad polls or increasing the sample size won’t fix it. Bias in the data can only be fixed by figuring out a way of creating truly fair samples.
The formal news section of the NY Post is not that different than the NY Times. It’s just not the focus of the NYP. And the NYT isn’t reporting anything beyond the most basic of news events.
