90 percent according to whose polling?
By what method did they poll?
Was it truly random?
What was the sample size?
What distribution?

I’m always skeptical if these numbers when they don’t post any methodology of how they arrived at the number, just……. bam! Look we have a number!

In the statistics class I took, if we’d tried that we’d have failed the class.
