I don’t know *anyone* who has been polled. Ever. I also don’t pay much attention to polls. I used to work in statistics and know how easy it is to manipulate data to get the desired result.

Old people have to answer unknown numbers waiting for Dr’s office calls. You know, shit like that. We don’t like it either.

I have to answer those too, but Nothing compels anyone to stay on the line.

To be fair they use a sampling methodology that accommodates for that. This is likely a fairly accurate result but it’s the context that matters. What was the question and what do results tell us relative to the results from the other question.

They haven't been phone-only for a long time now. This country just has that many idiots.

I'm a hs level teacher, and there are a lot of pro T students on my campus. My neighbor is 33 and she's very pro T. You can't just blame the older folks. It's those young ones.
