Pollsters have no fucking idea whats going on and just send out regular feelers to a tiny fraction of americans to see how they would vote at that given time, often with loaded questions to help sway the numbers in which ever way they want the result to land.
Also younger voters have been shown to rarely respond to polls. Those that do are probably the strongest MAGA supporters that for some reason wear that as a badge of honer. So my assumption is these polls are deeply biased by who is actually responding.
I have a landline and I picked up the phone last week for a poll and promptly hung up so polls to me are polling the weird Americans that would take phone surveys during dinner time
I’m not that young but I legitimately stopped responding to text polls because I’m not 100% sure a conservative organization wouldn’t text out “poll questions” to start building a list of liberal citizens to fuck with.

Im 23, I dont have a land line, I don’t answer unknown numbers, and I don’t do online polls.
I am basically invisible from a polling perspective. I cant imagine its much different for others.
Edit: put 25 for some fucking reason im actually 23. I dont know why I put that wrong.
