Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You didn't click the link did you?
The poll was about who is "licensed" not just "smart enough."
The on hyperlinked in the previous sentence that just says "polls are broken"?
No, I don't click on most links that don't say where they're going and sounc conspiracial. I'm on a phone and can't "hover" to see.
I just did tho:
So, OP read one thing, and then said another.
But that's about something factual, not an opinion like "who are you going to vote for".
And it is specifically about online opt in polls...

Which is probably why OP decided to hide the link. You don't even need to read the title to realize why it's not relevant. The link says it plain as day.
But man, I've been overestimating people recently.
If you truly don't understand why "online opt in polls" are the worst kind of polling I can take the time to explain it. But it's basically like saying trump is selling shitty shoes so you've decided to go barefoot the rest of your life.
YouGov, SurveyMonkey, The Harris Poll, Morning Consult and Lucid are all online opt-in polls. Those polls, and others like them, are the ones that everyone uses to show that Trump is ahead of Biden.
The rest are generally random-digit dialing phone polls. Guess what: those are even worse.
Formating a hyperlink so it's embedded in text is more work than just putting the link...
But the multitasking does explain why you didn't notice it was an online opt in poll.
That was my issues. Your statistics, not your "journalism" while shitting.
