it would be nice to see the questions asked for this poll

many times you can create the desired outcome just by phrasing the question in a certain way

A lot of polling is bad, no question, not because I disagree, but because it is ineptly done.  The major polling firms are pretty good generally.  They have a track record that can be judged.  They aren't perfect, but they are, IMHO, pretty good.  

A poll by some outfit I never heard of is something I disregard.

FFS.........YOUR ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE ISN'T MORE VALID THAN WIDESPREAD POLLING.
https://www.sacbee.com/news/article249943718.html


A Florida correctional officer polled his colleagues earlier this year in a private Facebook group: “Will you take the COVID-19 vaccine if offered?”

The answer from more than half: “Hell no.” Only 40 of the 475 respondents said yes.

This isn't wide spread polling obviously.  It's one guy far from expert in the field of polling asking around, on Facebook.  One item that makes it dubious is the response factor.  It could be that a LOT of folks in this private group didn't respond who could have said they would get it, because when you post you are getting it you get criticized by antivaxxers.

This is in no way a valid poll.  At all.

He thinks a poll taken in China is accurate.  

“Under penalty of death, will you take this vaccine?”

😂😂😂😂😂😂

There in lies the problem- he wants our system/government/lack of culture to be like theirs.  

Maybe I should start listening to him but then again I keep seeing thousands of people immigrate from China to the United States but almost nothing the other way???

Folks tend to join groups on FB that afford common interests, and often opinions.  This well could be a FB group of corrections officers who are very conservative, and perhaps another group is for those who are very liberal.

Something I have chuckled over is how several changed their views quite openly on the vaccine once Biden became President, in both directions.

As if somehow the President has anything to do with the safety of the vaccines.

Fantastic. 

Florida is now 60 and up, but there are a lot more of those here than in Indiana. Older seasonal residents don't help this.

I'm thinking about doing a poll here asking whether football should be outright banned as a sport.

I could report the results as being a "wide spread poll".

it's not much of a leap to be skeptical of a poll
you don't need to be able to jump like Bruce Jenner
The validity of a poll has more to do with its sample size and less to do whether a person agrees with it or not.

I will agree.  Many times we aren't informed of the sample size.

but, we have 475 florida corrections employees 
do you consider 475 a valid size?
