Weren't polls actually quite accurate for the UK in 2019?

Obviously social media is a terrible barometer for political mood. It's designed to build a self-co gratulatory bubble, but I'm not sure I buy the argument that polling is rigged or unscientific.

Polling is a statistical model of a rare event of human behavior - of course there's uncertainty!
