By this argument, we should never trust any survey outcome because we can never be 100% sure that no one lied. Even in personal interviews, people can lie.
Yeah, I don’t trust such surveys at all. Phone surveys tend to improve things a bit but internet polls are very hit or miss even under strict protocol. We’ll know true impact in a couple of months when statistics bureaus publish something more concrete and in the meantime we can approximate based on things like quarterly fiscal reports and some broader macroeconomic data.
People upvote this post because it makes them feel good even though nothing concrete was presented, which pretty much proves how unreliable humans are ;)

Maybe I missed the point?
