It's not 44 percent of Americans. It's 44 percent of the people poled. I can guarantee that number is skewed because a ton of left leaning people wouldn't bother wasting their time not getting paid to answer some pole. I know my friends and I are in that boat.

It’s 44% of all those people polled who are registered voters.

It seems insane to us “insiders” too.

The point is, anything more than negligible is fucking nuts!

Even if it's 44% of just idiot luddite conservatives, that's still 44% of idiot luddite conservatives too many!

Don't pollsters account for this? There's a reason why polling still exists and is talked about, the final results do reflect reality to some degree.
