Not far off. Actually 1500 INTERNET-INTERVIEWED respondents (by YouGov) asked something like 139 questions that would lead to boredom after the first dozen or so.

AFAIC, internet polls are automatically suspect because the people who take them are motivated by reasons that can’t be known. I don’t care if they call it ‘randomly selected’ or not.

This is nothing but second/third hand push-polling that isn’t even real polling. So they got some answers to 139 questions and then all the demographics and then ‘weighted’ them and blah, blah, blah. INTERNET!!! I-N-T-E-R-N-E-T.

This was really nothing but a mountain of massaged answers from unvetted people online where any one of the questions can then be singled out and used as a leftist push point for an article - the real purpose. YouGov - INTERNET.....

Finally, I leave with this, “If you torture the data long and hard enough it will reveal anything you want.”
