I thought elitism and contempt for American public opinion was limited to liberals. Sadly it has infected our movement too.
I have contempt for polls. I also don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the 50+% of Americans who don't vote think.
Fortunately, our government is normally chosen by folks who care enough to at least make the effort to vote - people who are, on average, better informed than the average American.
And polls can find whatever the people who fund them want to find.
