    Agreed. Most American polls are still done by phone, so it only counts people who answer unknown calls, and then answer a series of questions about their beliefs. Which just gets more unbelievable every day.

      And then there are online polls, that already cherry-pick the people by where they advertize. And that’s on top of the effect that people with a strong opinion and desire to voice it are overrepresented in such polls.
