I just got a robocall for a poll asking for my top 3 choices. Interesting that they wanted three instead of the usual two. Guess we might have another flawed poll coming from one of the camps soon
I don't see why that added metric would render the poll any more flawed than usual. I'd say it's very unlikely we won't make it to a 4th or 5th ballot.
That said of course all the polls you hear reported in the media are flawed. The campaigns have access to far more polls then they release so even if they're conducted in a wholly scientific and neutral manner there would still be a selection bias. No neutral third party has access to the NDP membership list for obvious reasons so the only source for polls is interested candidates.
