So. Once again another democratic vote has basically swung against both the Left's designated choice AND all the polls.
I mean people not wanting to be shackled to the left's demented schemes is perfectly understandable, but the fact that it isn't represented in public polling seems very odd to me.
What you're basically looking at would seem to be one of two things IMO:
1. Pollsters are deliberately biasing their selection criteria AND/OR their methodology when crafting polls, in order to paint a veneer of respectable leftism onto their poll.
or
2. People responding to polls are outright lying when they respond. Hence the false result.
(1) I don't think would work, as poll aggregators would spot such blatantly skewed results against the overall trend and give it a lower weighting in their overall score (as an example
fivethirtyeight.com deliberately downplay polls from sources they think are skewed in their results for exactly this reason).
(2) Is an odd one. What possible reason could people have for hiding their political opinions when questioned on them?
Could it be, and one is going out on a limb here, that in the current year any digression from designated leftist ideals is met with accusations of being a "Sexist racist transphobic misogynist who associates with white nationalists"? The volume of shrieking, especially on social media, has possibly got to the extent now where people are afraid of the mob of 30 brave progressive college students waiting round the corner from the guy with the clipboard so they lie just to sate some snowflake's precious feelings and escape unmolested?
Definitely hyperbolic, possibly false, rather amusing to consider though
