That's interesting but I would probably assume my neighbours are a bunch of commies. I do live in Canada after all.
In a way that might be better. If you're the outlier, it might be better to know what your neighbors are doing. Otherwise, the pollster is going to assume you're representative.

It's interesting because I could see this going both ways dependent on the person. Some people might assume others intuitively think the way they think and some people, like myself, assume everyone else thinks contrary to the way I think.
I don't think it is a catch all solution but could be a tool in the tool box. Ultimately, AI will be the best pollster. It will be able to monitor ten thousand data points about each person and in most cases likely be able to predict how and if they will vote.

That's true, but AI will also have an even worse garbage-in-garbage-out problem, because it lacks any ability to think about the results it's getting. There's also no training dataset, since it never gets to learn who you actually voted for.
It will probably do a good job at precinct level, though.

zero trust in my neighbors
