Does anyone else stop reading when you see the word "poll"?

My brain just automatically shuts down and moves on to something else when I read that word.
Im I alone in my experience?

I stop reading as soon as I see "muh"

If everyone agrees with you then there will be no responses because they would've stopped at your thread title.

This.
Same with the half-witted "Trumpkin."
I also confess to never reading threads/comments written by approx 3-5 specific posters.

I stop when I read," Washington Post, New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, Huffington Post, etc.

The only thing I genuinely dont read is when people make those like 5+ quote-point breakdowns to rebut someone's post.
Your opinion isn't that important, frick off

You know what might help you learn more about how other people view this issue?
I'd tell you, but then your brain would shut down.

I usually stop reading when I see that. I don't care what polls say this early into a Presidency. Anything can happen on any given day to move those opinions one way or the other.

My thing with polls is twofold. First I don't actually care what polls say. Why should a poll affect my opinion on an issue? Second. While I am not one of these people who dismisses all of them is fake it would be dishonest to not recognize that there are a dream to driven polls.
But even the well-designed polls are clearly having challenges today. I suspect those challenges are driven by a variety of things. The methods of yesterday may not be as successful in today's more diverse Communications environment. Additionally the fact that American ideologies seem less well distributed then they were 25 years ago has to be affecting poll designers
I mean you can't ignore that the polls have found it more challenging lately to correctly predict things in politics
In any case I really don't see their usefulness for me as an individual. I don't decide things based on what everyone else thinks

Polls are heavily influenced by the wording of said poll. You can get almost any result you want if you word it right.

"Poll" should not exist after HRC's poll numbers were a giant flop.
I still laugh at this today.

Karl Rove once said that he could get a poll conducted to say anything he wanted the poll to say.....the polling industries that do polls for particular policies/issues are in my experience and observation some of the most unreliable out there....they are almost the dictionary definition of fake news
You follow the polls and Hillary Clinton should be POTUS...instead she is walking around inn the woods near her house muttering to herself

You are not alone here. I do sometimes pop in to get an update on the propaganda though.
