Q: This is also the season for a variety of opinion polls. How much should we trust them? Do you
A: I wish the methodology would also be informed to the audience. With different methodologies of each poll, it is very difficult to know which prediction is correct. Luckily most of the opinion polls, as of now, are convergent in their prediction (research after all!) in spite of different methodologies. Quite often, there are variances from the actual results. That is rarely discussed later. Public memory is poor, as they say. By the same token, actually the outcome of the general election is out as I saw in some leading channel.
Trust is a matter of choice of individuals or Groups. In the dance of Democracy, enjoy the festival.
