    This is the question and answer phrasing. Remember, these disingenuous fucks are purposefully trying to manipulate you.

    The thing that pushes this “result” over the “majority” line (from this very likely flawed, non representative sample anyways) is the phrasing of “not much” as an answer - which FEELS like a NO answer to many, but is TECHNICALLY read here and tallied as a YES. Cowards.

    Remember, polls are archaic, inaccurate and pretty much exclusively made up of a swath of the country, dying in place with otherwise empty lives, that now dedicate themselves to waiting for these calls to give purposefully misleading answers to skew results and provide click bait to unscrupulous reporters like this one. This poll was ONLY telephone based and answers of non-college graduate were weighted heavier than others, per their stated methodology.

    Also, what does it say to you about this question THAT IT WAS ONLY ASKED ABOUT TRUMP? This poll is full of directly comparative questions about both Biden and trump, not this one though… weird coincidence I guess?

    Register and get out to vote. We helped that criminal, rapist loser lose last time and we’ll do it again.

      This is a great comment to contextualize the headline. But the numbers you are showing are for registered voters while the headline specifies men. Were there crosstabs for male respondent results that paint a less reasonable picture? 41% (weighted, as you point out) of all registered voters is already pretty high for the two yes-aligned answers, it wouldn’t shock me if the political gender gap pushes those two over 50% when looking specifically at men, as unfortunate of an indicator as that is on the ability of those in my gender to understand what respect for women even looks like

      Edit: found it, the crosstabs for men do indeed show 54% at “a lot” + “some”. Truly an embarrassing showing
