What Do You Think About On-Line Polls?

[ThomWV]

Nobody seems to think on-line polls have an ounce of validity, but an awful lot of us take the time to participate in them. Sometimes I wonder if they might tell us more than we give them credit for.

This seems interesting too. I just saw one in which 82% of those responding said they did not seek religious guidance in an entertainment choice. So 18% do. Now that second number, the 18% who do look to outside religious guidance, isn't a number that I find surprising. I suspect that depending on your circle of acquaintances it might seem a little high or a little low to you, but overall I don't think anyone is much amazed by it. Why then would the very same people who would accept that number not agree that there was any validity in a similar poll from same web site asking as question such as should there be serious inquiry into impeachment of the President by the Congress? I don't understand how the results, like them or not, of asking one question are seemingly valid but the other is not.
