Organizations like Gallup and Pew Research have been fairly transparent about their methodologies for almost 100 years. Everyone familiar with survey systems knows this. Most people are not familiar with the finer points of statistical modeling and yet they can still have a civil conversation which includes survey results.

You don't know probability theory, but you want to go ballistic at Robbie for not appending it to his survey chart embed.

You can't name a Libertarian who impacted ACA, but you assert they did.

You can't name a Republican who impacted ACA, but you assert they did.

Your avatar text suggests you are Canadian, but you think it is okay to be contemptuous of Americans sharing their actual experiences.

You say an offshoot of Standard Oil is probably more reliable than Gallup. I don't believe anyone is that stupid, so I think you said that just to act like you'd be open to a reasonable survey if it slapped you in the face. Have you googled Standard Oil yet?
