    If it makes y'all feel any better this was a really poorly administered and unscientific poll.

    Sample size of 1000, based on people who responded to an e-mail, more than half of the respondents were over 45, more people over 65 than under 30. (Also apparently more Trump voters than Biden voters?)

    I do think this is SOMEWHAT representative of the American mind but keep this shit in mind as well.

      Yea YouGov poll sampling is never good

      1000 is a very good size though

      There's a calculator and some math here if you wanna learn more. Statistics is really weird and unintuitive https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/

        Ah ok, well, the other criticisms stand I guess.

        I dont think a better administered poll would have results that were more than marginally better tbh but still.
