Pew Research Center 's research and polling are generally well respected internationally. That said, any given poll can be off due to a variety of factors. Among them is bad design (not usually a problem with Pew); mistakes in analysis (again, not generally a Pew problem); endemic problems in polling particular populations (this is not rare in polls conducted outside the US); and less than tip-top performance by individual poll takers (also more of a problem abroad). 28.7K views

I pay attention to what they say, and generally consider them reliable, but I’m not a polling expert. If you want an expert opinion go to fivethirtyeight.com. Nate Silver, the guy who runs the site, knows polling and has quality ratings for all of them he uses in his analysis. 956 views
