One pollster’s explanation for why the polls got it wrong
Who replies honestly to political question to random strangers? I know I don't.What's the benefit of letting anyone know where you stand politically at this point? None.It's much more likely - no matter which side you're for - that the person asking could have an adverse reaction.  Things are just way too polarized now, not sure how that can change, but that's how it is.I mean outside friends/family I simply take a neutral, non-committal stance on almost every hot-button issue these days. And honestly even that's not 100% true, I avoid getting into deep political conversations with most of my family, I simply don't want to cause further rifts in our already frail relations over all this stuff. There is no middle ground.
