So we speak to an expert, Rebecca Huntley, to give us the inside line on how they come up with these polls, and why the media and politicians are so obsessed with them. Do they just call 1500 boomers on landlines? How trustworthy are they? And most importantly are they accurate enough to predict the 2022 federal election.
