      AND it’s a stupid poll anyway, because most Americans don’t even understand the question as asked.

      It’s kind of shocking because Gallup definitely knows better than to ask questions like this

      Results for this Gallup poll are based on […] a random sample of 1,016 adults, […]the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

      AND results are on a sample too small to be significant.

      My guy, do you even know the point of statistics?
