    Always something to remember about polling:

    What sort of fucking weirdo wastes their time talking to a pollster? I get it for lonely seniors but people under 45 have shit to do.

      *Most people under 45 have shit to do. Also, I’m about to be aged out of this bracket and I have never once been asked anything by a pollster. I don’t know if I believe these people exist.

        I have. A couple times via a couple channels. It happens. Obviously they don’t ask everyone or even most people though.

      If you don’t speak to pollsters, how do you know if they’re reptilian or not?

    I wouldn’t worry about this. The vast majority of Americans don’t even know who this guy is. This is more of a “not those guys” protest preference, just like how generic Dems and Republicans poll better than specific candidates.

      Check out this just released interview from PBS. It seems to me RFK is suffering the early onset of some flavor of movement disorder. Regardless he’s conspiratorial to the bone, which is about par I fear. What he isn’t is charismatic. Try again dark money, or rather keep throwing your “speech” down this hole.

      Yeah, I’d be shocked if polling was accurate for folks under 45 at this point. Trending post event or something sure but I’ve never even been called and certainly wouldn’t respond if I was…
