26. That even 10% support TSF disgusts me

But I don't give the pollsters a pass.

Pollsters seem to have zero problems asking questions about age. I get it. President Biden is a whole 3 years older and a million Big Macs short of TSF

Pollsters are "obviously" concerned about age. Maybe they should be concerned with other topics as well.

To give us a "truer", more "accurate" snapshot of the race, I suggest they include the below questions on their next survey;

- How "rapey" is too "rapey" in a president?
A. A little rape is OK
B. I find rape to be disqualifying
C. Grabbing women by their hoo-haa is just locker roomy, but being found liable by a jury is too much

- What should the president have done if the January 6 mob got their hands on Mitt Romney and Nancy Pelosi?
A. Had their broken bodies hung from a DC bridge like a scene out of Felugia.
B. See if Vlad has room at a Siberian prison.
C. Pardon the MAGAts that killed them.

- Should the $150K to bribe a porn star come from:
A. The Social Security Trust Fund
B. Medicare
C. Campaign donation to the RNC

- Should the president's son-in-law receive $2B from:
A. Russia
B. Saudi Arabia
C. What about Hunter?

- How much real estate fraud is acceptable in a president?
A. $450M
B. $450M + interest
C. Any amount as long as he hates the gays.

These and many other questions would better reflect the reality of the contest.

I am kind of afraid to ask these questions, because if the pollsters oversample red state english only speakers, TSF might have a slight lead.
