Lies, damn lies, and statistics. That's Mark Twain...or Benjamin Disraeli, depending on who you listen to.
And also - 37% of statistics are made up on the spot.
Jokes aside, I believe there are legitimate polling organizations who use scientific methods without trying to skew their results. Their websites are interesting reads. For example, try http://www.gallup.com for the Gallup Organization's website. There's also the Pew Research center at http://people-press.org/
Of course it would be prudent to take everything you hear from anyone, media and otherwise, with a grain of salt, but not everything is black and white in terms of accuracy. Always question, always think for yourself.
