minus-square@buddhaboundlinkEnglish1•6 months agoI don’t answer polls as a GenX, but I sure as hell vote in every election. I will never vote for a Republican. Polls won’t capture voters like me, and voters like me are not just millennials and zoomers.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•6 months agoPolling isn’t as simple as adding up responses and reporting the percentages.

That’s not to say that polls are necessarily accurate - clearly they aren’t, but to say “polls won’t capture voters like me” is incorrect.
