Unfortunately, here in the ‘burbs, most of us don’t even KNOW our next-door neighbors, these days.

You miss my point

People answering surveys are reluctant to indicate their own voter choice

Asking about a "neighbor" gives them a non threatening choice

with or without an actual neighbor.

I don’t know anything about polling, but I don’t see how a question like that would garner useful data.

I’d probably be even less inclined to answer that question than a direct one about my own opinions.
