Eric I know you don't do polling anymore, but it would have been great to have someone on to argue for the ban. One could say the reason these guys don't want the ban is it would be less money for them. It was a good show. Now here is a poll without a single telephone. About 8 or so weeks ago Poillievre did a tour of NL, with taking so much as 1 question from a reporter. During his stop in Clarenville, NL he had a rally of sorts at the town's community centre. From the tv reports maybe 100 - 120 people, he didn't fill it. Two weeks later the PM was in Clarenville, at the Eastlink Events Centre Theatre. 400+ Seats. There was standing room only, the crowd was going mad (in a good way) & he answered questions.
To be honest, I haven't seen a legitimate argument for the ban beyond some people on Twitter who believe all polls are propaganda. These guys (and other pollsters) would probably be better off without public polls, because they don't really make any money on them. Instead, they'd get contracts from individuals, businesses and organizations that want their own private polling to help them make their decisions because there is nothing in the public domain.
