    I promise there’s some selection bias going on in there. Most people leaning to the left of the Republican party aren’t going to answer polls or surveys about Trump.

    With all the possible outcomes, there’s more incentive to hang up than participate. The actual people writing the policies won’t change their strategy as a response to Trump’s poll numbers, which is the only thing they could have hoped for. Instead, they’ll probably end up on a call list.

    Or, it could be a fake poll made by some MAGA nutjobs looking to create a list. Is it likely? No, but the risk still outweighs the nothingburger that participating will actually do.
