Re: Most of the Polls were Tory owned

If you can persuade one wing (say young left leaning voters) that they might as well stay at home playing PS4 games, because their vote won't make any difference, then the poll may well have been effective.

There are many ways small biases (biae?) can creep into polls to make them suit their customers.
