    “This survey doesn’t fit my worldview so it’s pointless.”

    I bet you verify the fine print on surveys that do fit your worldview too, huh

      Yes, I check the data makeup of every survey I view. The sample data that is not using the same criteria for every participant skews the results. If I ask 10 politicians if they think they are doing a good job I get one set of results, but if I ask 10 McDonald employees if their elected politicians are doing great job, results will be different. If you can see the difference there, then the problem is you, not me.
