    That’s a great point. I’d also like to throw in the question “what kind of person stops to answer these polls?”. I don’t feel like younger folks are going to be quite as keen. Politics as an identity tends to be an older generational thing.

        Also, most polls are taken via phone call, which makes the disconnect even worse.

      This is the biggest issues I have with pills right now. The younger demos don’t answer phones, so the responses are going to be skewed, and I can’t imagine there are many places that can reasonably do in person polling with any kind of reasonable mixes of demos.
