    Something fucky is going on. From the page:

    If the 2024 presidential election were held today, who would you vote for if the candidates were

    Then it lists the usual suspects including third parties. The only age group for that question voting for Biden is 65 and older. Maybe so, but that doesn’t seem right.

      I suspect that out of the 2% of people who answered the phone (and the smaller percentage that stayed on for the whole poll), there were some number of young people whose parents answered the phone and then answered all the poll questions for them, or something weird like that.

      Maybe not. But in general, the whole methodology starts to look like a big pile of garbage the closer you look at it. It’s not surprising for some answers to come out of it that are very obviously wrong.
