Oh, it's 100% spot on. He sticks to legitimate and, honestly, good political talking points for a white hot second before it's back to PDJT. He'd rather talk about the fucking Apprentice that the ridiculous economic numbers.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

As a policy choice, Tariffs were the one certain thing that he was going to do. If you voted for him, you were voting for tariffs. He thinks they are some kind of magic bullet.
The Front Row Joe phenomenon has been reported on in a few places, it seems like there is more than a handful but the number isn't important. Its more weird than anything. He gets a lot of people to come to rallies to hear the same list of grievances and most of the people going to the rallies he wouldn't give the time of day to in the real world. Its like the Pied Piper come to life. I've safely made it through middle age without ever going to a political rally I don't plan on deviating from that. Who in the world waits in line for those rallies let alone drive out of state? Obama would draw big crowds but nobody was driving across the country to hear him speak at a normal rally.

I've answered a couple polls but I generally do not answer them, they don't come up as Unknown Caller, they will have some polling name on it. I expect this upcoming election will be polled a lot in my area.
The hit rate for phone polls is very low. When the NY times were doing their live polls during the 2018 election, they were blazing through 20 thousand calls to scrounge up 600 respondents. As long as you are hitting the demographic target it works but the MOE is going to be big the smaller the number of respondents.

An anonymous, but wise, citizen recently summarized special counsel Robert Mueller's report in clear middle-America language: "We know that old boy didn't actually steal any horses, but he's obviously guilty of trying to shoot the sheriff for investigating."

Golly I have great fun with polls. ALWAYS ALWAYS lie to pollsters. Typically I report I am a very religious uber conservative, giving all repub candidates the highest rating possible except for Dear Leader who gets the worst possible rating. Don't care for the robo-polls, but the live ones are fun.
A couple of months back, I participated in a live poll inquiring about social issues. I actually gave honest answers (wasn't an overt political poll). That poll was incredibly long, probably 10 minutes in length. I asked the lady conducting the survey what her completion rate was. Including hang-ups, she stated about half the people finished the survey.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho Marx
