Polls tend to be bullshit, yes, but that isn't the proof of it.

And it's funny because she effectively conducted a bullshit poll to prove that polls are bullshit, but then she was engaging in the exact same bullshit.

I might as well counter that I haven't been part of this The View poll, nor was anyone I know in the audience that day, therefore this poll about polling was bullshit.

In reality pollsters do poll humans in small numbers and use statistical models to make inferences about the population. That's legit so far, and Raven-Symone doesn't seem smart enough to recognize that with her stunt.

The bullshit comes in the modeling, not in the polling.
