5. Fully agree. I think this is why the polls are not reliable. I NEVER answer the phone or texts...

if I don't know exactly who is calling/texting. You cannot tell if a text or call is legit, so I think a lot of people do the same thing as I do. I would imagine this is much more the case with younger voters, so I would think this skews things to the right in these polls.

We'll see if I'm correct by tomorrow and the coming days. I can't imagine the majority of people want to go back to Republican/fascist madness.
