    There’s no link in the article to the Pew Research study they’re supposedly citing and they write it out as if all Americans participated. Why do people cite polls as if they’re accurate? I’ve never participated in one and with all the propaganda Americans are fed I don’t see how any of them are believable.

      Because polls exist to try and get a representative sample, and they bank their whole reputation on it.

      Just because you’ve never been polled doesn’t mean they don’t exist or work.
