(20,536 posts)1. Huh...so the fact that, out of ??? thousands...
of people
that there are those whose opinion differs from others
somehow surprises and amuses you.
Wow.
Question: have you ever been in a group larger than say 5, or even 3, of supposedly like minded people and asked their opinions on anything more controversial than whether the earth is flat?

We should not all think alike, that is the democratic part.

(14,100 posts)5. Are you sure it's the same posters saying both things?
Because, in my case, I dont take much stock in polls no matter the situation. Some may be more or less accurate but they dont affect how I approach elections. I just donate, volunteer, and get out the vote regardless of what the polls say.
