Is "Pew Research" reliable?

[brucejoel99]

Yes, Pew has an excellent reputation for being fair, accurate, & quite reliable. It's nonpartisan, nonprofit, & employs high quality researchers who generally use the best possible practices & methodologies. They're the giants of surveying on a wide range of topics/subjects, & they're just a good polling organization, but remember, opinion polls always have to be taken w/ a grain of salt. The way questions are asked will yield different results, & people's responses often don't reflect their deeply felt political convictions b/c most people don't have deeply felt political convictions at all. Polls largely just reflect the rhetoric people like at a political moment in time. The rhetoric they like can change.
