Back By Popular Demand?

Two-thirds of Americans now support stricter gun control measures – including nearly HALF of Republicans [More]
Assuming this result of loaded questions asked of people who don't understand their implications is true, what the Elephants had best get straight is if they abandon their base, they'll never have power again.

It will be instructive to see how many gun owners will hold on to theirs.

The report was sponsored by Politico. Reading through it here:

It shows that the total # of respondents was.... (drumroll please...) 1,992.

Yep, 1,992 is supposed to be a representative sample of the entire country...

and then there is the math - or lack thereof

69% of those polls reported they voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016
20% voted for Donald in 2016 Trump
30% voted for someone else in 2016

HUH? 119%? oh right.. the new math

Followed with, polls so very accurate in the 2016 election.. NOT

I hate polls.

2/3 of Americans don't agree on much of anything. Something smells of BS here.

So, I ask again:

Which branch of the Socialist Party should I vote for? The Leninists or the Fabians?

Hahahahahaha, I am in a running battle with some totalitarian who claims the number is 97% of all Americans want stricter gun control. He sited Quinnepac, The Hill, a couple of others. He expects me to believe 1) 97% of Americans agree on anything and 2) Polls reflect the actual thoughts of the people polled. What a mackerel.
