In reply to the discussion: About four-in-ten U.S. adults believe humanity is 'living in the end times' (Pew) [View all]Major Nikon

The polling last month wasn't that far off and some had it pegged. The latest Marist poll had Fetterman winning by 6 points and he won by 5. It doesn't get any better than that. It's not even a question of believing it or not. It's just data, not a crystal ball.
But these aren't election polls, they are opinion polls. On the one hand they are harder to judge outcomes in the short term compared to election polls, but when they are repeated over and over with consistent results, you can be assured they are pretty accurate.

How did they phrase the questions? I tend to think severe climate change is "the end" ...
