Why "Civiqs" poll has Biden in fourth place in Iowa

[Celerity]

6. not all online polls are a priori poor, far from it

Good ones have a very controlled group, NOT a random poll where anyone could just click on something as many times as they want. I see so many people react (not saying you are in this case) in such a way that as soon as 'online' is mentioned they have visions of all the dodgy 'have-a-go', 'vote as often as you can clear your cache' (if even that is needed, lol) push-pull 'polls' like Drudge and other sites (of all sorts of ideological bents) do.

Also (and here I am not going to say they all are great, especially HarrisX) MANY of the dominant polls in terms of boosting Biden in the RCP poll average are online polls (Harvard/Harris (RW run and owned), and especially the Morning Consult and HarrisX, also RW run and owned). So is the completely legit A rated SurveyUSA that just had a great result for Biden.


Multiple well-rated, reputable polls are either all, or partially online.
