Social media, main stream media and politicians. Really. Great job all around.
Social media, main stream media and politicians. Really. Great job all around.
They seem to have a new survey every day on just about anything,with ridiculous stats.
Who exactly is taking all these surveys?
I don't believe any of them!
working in the media, there are lots of pollsters out there constantly measuring things. I personally (oddly I started typing personna first) work with 3 major pollsters on a daily basis (Nielsen, ComScore and Marketron). They really do a pretty good job. However, as someone who uses them, it's up to the data presenter to show them honestly, as quite often good data can be spun to show things that aren't really there. That said, of COURSE our major threat has always been internal. 2020 has to have been the most violent year of my life. Americans have always done the best job of taking something really good and destroying it.
The thing I like best about Badger and Blade is that it gives us a break from discussions like this one.
9 out of 10 people really like that quote.Dad always said polls were good for one thing...fishin'.
I found a rather sobering pole last night...it held me up pretty good.

What would the poll look like if it had been taken on January 5th instead?
Also, people aren't free to speak their mind. They are forced to choose from the four options provided. Suspicious?
Suppose some one thought that the greatest threat was Trump, or right-wing talk-radio, or Twitter, or immigrants, or China, or Hollywood, or fascists, or...
And what does "...threat to America's way of life" even mean?
It seems the poll was created specifically to produced the result you see.
No one should trust these polls. This one's purpose is clearly to manipulate us.
67.2% of all statistics quoted on the internet were made up on the spot.
I thought there were more than 3 people in the world! Gosh!!!Statistics aside, there are only 3 types of people in the world: those who can count and those who can’t.
Wonder what “america’s way of life” is anyway ....... maybe there should be a poll on that.
