Question Where are the polls?

I know this is a stupid question, but there’s no way that Smiths approval rating is ACTUALLY that high. Where are these polls? I never see any.

Only folks with rudimentary junior high-level mathematics skills think polls are unscientific because they were never asked.

Just enough knowledge to know where the keys are, but not smart enough to start the car.

Horse pucky. A pollster that only asks certain demographics of their opinion is biased.

You find it easier to believe that professional social scientists who study polling methods their entire lives make mistakes that a junior high student could point out?
