    The survey, conducted by polling firm Cygnal…

    There’s no link. I find the article impossible to believe. Could I be wrong? Sure. But the entire narrative is based on that mysterious data from Cygnal - whatever that is. Also - I have no idea of the differences between a poll and a survey. My wild guess is that a survey is far more squishy and the data can be manipulated more easily.

    If there’s a poll from a reputable source that confirms what Cygnal found - I’ll admit to being wrong. But the article smells like shit.
