Major Polling Firm Changes Its Own Results After Left-Wing Activists Complain

One of the criticisms you often hear about polls is that they’re agenda-driven and therefore unreliable. Very often, that’s true, but it’s usually difficult to prove it. 

Pollsters understand that if they want to have any credibility whatsoever, they need to project an image of neutrality. They know they can’t buckle under political or social pressures and retract or modify their own findings, at least not in public. If they did that, then they’d be exposed as activists, instead of pollsters. And no one would take them seriously ever again.
