    Also younger voters have been shown to rarely respond to polls. Those that do are probably the strongest MAGA supporters that for some reason wear that as a badge of honer. So my assumption is these polls are deeply biased by who is actually responding.

      Im 23, I dont have a land line, I don’t answer unknown numbers, and I don’t do online polls.

      I am basically invisible from a polling perspective. I cant imagine its much different for others.

      Edit: put 25 for some fucking reason im actually 23. I dont know why I put that wrong.

        I have a landline and I picked up the phone last week for a poll and promptly hung up so polls to me are polling the weird Americans that would take phone surveys during dinner time

      I’m not that young but I legitimately stopped responding to text polls because I’m not 100% sure a conservative organization wouldn’t text out “poll questions” to start building a list of liberal citizens to fuck with.
