clickbait article, quoting the poll and the juiciest numbers they could dig out of them.

This survey was conducted online within the United States from February 21-22 among 2,022 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX

Well what the fuck does that mean, conducted online? On AOL? PornHub? Did you spam people to click a link for your website? Facebook? It was facebook wasn't it. They don't say. FFS was it Xitter? Unknown. Here's the actual poll, which the bullshit article doesn't even bother to link to.

There are SIXTY EIGHT questions. Okay, I want you to sit down and go to my facebook page and answer sixty eight questions. Who does that? I doubt anyone here. 2000 people is at least more than 1000 that they usually use to barf up a headline, but, again, that's 0.00014% of the registered voters.

Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income, employment, education, political party, and political ideology where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population.

Well, what were those numbers? It doesn't say. Were they current, as in, 2022-or-more-recent breakdowns? Dunno. Could be from 2006? Maybe.

Garbage.
