The reason that a lot of places are not doing this kind of polling is because these are done by polling land line phone numbers (if you call cell numbers you could get people anywhere in the world, if you call US landline numbers you get people who live in the US).
This method used to be perfectly okay when everyone had telephone service that comes through a wire, now that isn’t the case. Because of this, there is inherent selection bias towards the kinds of people who would have land line phones (older people).
This poll is done online based on selection by address, and they’ll even hand out a tablet if the person at the address doesn’t have internet access. There are undoubtedly still old school polls doing landline cold-calls, but I think they’re growing rarer, and frankly at this point they’re Karoline Leavitt’s favorite ones.

Religion.
To them it’s all about teams.
They root for the home team cause they believe it’s about identity instead of ideas.
The cold hard truth is that they want white nationalism at all costs
