Last election I got a pollster for the first time and I forced myself to answer questions because I kinda had a hunch this sort of thing was going on. I wanted to hang up so bad.

At some points in 2020, especially after the strictest lockdowns eased, polls had the opposite problem: Democrats would eagerly pick up the phone and getting Republicans was like pulling teeth. Proper sample weighting can help to an extent, but can’t entirely cure it.

Not a great poll in general but boy that is a wacky one. Maybe the NYT will endorse RFK Jr instead of the man they're backing

so I guess the idea here for why this might skew the polls is that if you have two separate groups of republicans—high-motivated, praise-for-dear-leader group, and low-motivation, anti-trump group—you'll be talking to a lot more of the former than the latter when you poll

Translation: Democrats have families and hobbies and stuff to do. Republicans are eager to have *anyone* at which to air their petty grievances, and the pollsters aren't allowed to hang up on them (until they get REALLY racist).

I'm eager to answer polls, because I feel helpless and doing a poll tricks my brain into thinking I'm doing something useful! Hooray!
