Good thread ttbn. Thanks and kudos.

Taking a "survey" among the like minded to get the biased result wanted is typical of the far right's so called Institute of Public Affairs. Having the forums usual suspects swooning about the "result" with rapturous glee, is also to be expected. Fellas get your bed sheets on, and flour sacks over your heads it's time yet again for your regular KKK forum hate speak fest of taking pot shots at those nasty black people!

Thanks CM,

Now Gen Z is being called “far right”. Gen Z are the ones indicating that they are fed up with abo-antics; not the IPA. It wasn't even their poll. They were just reporting the results of someone else's poll. But, true to form, the literary-challenged Troll, says to himself, ‘I know: I'll do what I do best and shoot the messenger. I'm too dumb to discuss the actual subject”. Then he refers to the “so-called” Institute of Public Affairs, when the Institute of Public Affairs is actually its name.

That's his literacy problem again. It's difficult to believe that anyone could be as thick as Troll 1405, but he keeps on proving that he is.

I note that he has added the KKK to his repertoire. At least he won't have trouble spelling that - maybe.

Who is Dynata?

Dynata is privately owned American company that performs consumer and business-to-business phone survey and market research. Dynata. Its directors are unknown, although it was cretaed by the politically conservative Tom Danbury in 1977, then called Survey Sampling International, they rely on a "member" phone base to conduct surveys, which are paid for by business and other organisations. ttbn how about a link to the so called survey, and then we can see how genuine it is.

"They aren't a scam, but their calls are known for being disruptive. Blocking Dynata's numbers doesn't work, as the company regularly rotates them. You can manually opt out of Dynata calls, but this takes time and effort."

Dynata is a regular outfit then; performing it's job like any sampling organisation. I'm not sure why the Troll went to the trouble of looking them up, when he knows they wouldn't be "genuine". The only thing he deems to be genuine is the stark raving-mad Green/Communists who use simpletons like him to spread their their lies and lunacy.

Correct, ttbn:

//Dynata is a regular outfit then; performing it's job like any sampling organisation.//

Their job is just collecting responses.

But they don’t design the questions, frame the issues, or spin the results. That’s the client’s role. In this case, the client is the IPA. So citing “Dynata” doesn’t prove the poll is neutral, it just proves the IPA paid Dynata to ring people.

//I'm not sure why the Troll went to the trouble of looking them up, when he knows they wouldn't be "genuine".//

That’s exactly why it was worth looking up. If you want people to take a poll seriously, you show the actual methodology: sample size, weighting, and above all, the exact wording of the questions. Without those, we can’t know if the poll was “genuine” or just carefully loaded.

//The only thing he deems to be genuine is the stark raving-mad Green/Communists who use simpletons like him to spread their their lies and lunacy.//

Name-calling doesn’t get you off the hook. Paul asked for a link to the survey - the questionnaire, not just the IPA press release. If you had it, you’d post it. The fact you dodge the request and default to insults makes it look like you don’t.
