If it makes y'all feel any better this was a really poorly administered and unscientific poll.

Sample size of 1000, based on people who responded to an e-mail, more than half of the respondents were over 45, more people over 65 than under 30. (Also apparently more Trump voters than Biden voters?)

I do think this is SOMEWHAT representative of the American mind but keep this shit in mind as well.

    Yea YouGov poll sampling is never good

    1000 is a very good size though

    There's a calculator and some math here if you wanna learn more. Statistics is really weird and unintuitive https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/sample-size-calculator/
