But seriously folks, I need some new questions for polls. What are you curious about? Where are the fault lines in our discussions of water.
On a more serious note, take this as an example of a constituency speaking out in favor of its preferences. Do we know that those preferences are of the majority? No, since we asked neither the population, nor a random sample, but a self-selected sample.
Bottom Line: A few people are not representative of all the people.
