Pew Poll shows conservatives think the Supreme Court is actually liberal.

12. Conservatives are misguided in this poll, not the poll itself. It is an accurate view of the muddled

brains of conservatives and the more perceptive view of liberals. That's really all you can ask of a poll.

If the public is so stupid
can we believe any poll results?

The public is not 'stupid', though many people are (particularly on the conservative side of the spectrum). That would be a very un-democratic view. The whole democratic idea of self-government is at odds with a belief that people are too stupid to govern themselves and need 'enlightened' leaders who are selected in some manner that does not involve the public.

A poll can reflect the opinions and preferences of stupid people as accurately as it does those of intelligent people.

IS every Hillary poll equally suspect?
Or only the right-wing ones?

I doubt that every Hillary poll is suspect, though some of them may be. It depends on who is doing the polling and how it is done. The question "If the election was today would you vote for Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush?" is pretty straightforward and as subjective as some poll questions can be. Of course, how they select the people who are being polled is key. And, of course, any poll done today only applies to today's attitudes, not tomorrow's or next year's.

When you say 'right-wing polls, do you mean like those conducted by FOX? If so, unless they present the methodology of the poll and it is sound (highly unlikely), they yes I would generally put more credence in polls done by reputable organizations like Pew than I would in right-wing polls.

Sometimes I don't like the results of well-done polls, but I try to resist the urge to ignore them. Conservatives can ignore polls, evidence and science that they don't agree with and go on believing that they are right and the whole world agrees with them. Not me.
