This is mostly my opinion since I no longer have a link to the article.

During 2011, there was an article from one of the big think tanks stating that that polling would no longer a problem, or something along those lines, I had saved the article for a few years, but remember it was 2012 - forward that there began to be significant polling versus election results such as the 2012 election, in particular the 2012 election results that had predicted a Romney win.

Polling is influential and is used to manipulate the public.
