    833 people answered their cellphone from an unknown caller and spent 15 minutes answering multiple choice questions about their politics. “Shockingly” the majority were over 60 years old, and 36% were unemployed (i.e. retired).

    Polls are garbage. Chum for the clickbait sharks.

    The more interesting number was 77% disapproved of russia. Square that one up.

      Unless this polling place is pure amateur hour, they’ll correct for demographic imbalances. The crosstabs for young voters will have greater error bars, but the poll won’t be inherently biased.
