Help DU this poll

MSN has a poll about voting for Donald Trump if the election was held today.

it's currently running about 51% to 49% in his favor.

I know the demographics of the respondents, because every two months or so they ask age, and nearly 75% of the respondents are over 45 years old, and half of that is over 65.

Perhaps we can even off that demographic anomaly by adding more DUers, of all ages, into the mix.

in polls are plus 10 points Republican. the Demographics are older than the General Population. So, any number that is unfavorable to Trump is that plus 15 to 20 points unfavorable.

Would you point it at your own head and pull the trigger?

50% yes.

How fucking dumb can people be?

And, yes, I voted in the "Are you incredibly stupid" poll.

I follow these quick polls on MSN. It's my default page. they periodically ask party affiliation. It's plus 10 point Repuke. They do the same thing on age, and there are very few young people. something like 15% 18 to 34. Well 0ver 70% are 45 years or older and the largest age group is 65 and over. So, it's well into a Trump demographic, and it shows in most surveys.

I would say that it has a 15 to 20 point Trump bias, judging by the demographics I discern from previuos surveys on the same site. So any lead against Trump is a great trend here.
