Gays and trannies are 12300%

Coincidence? I think not.
It's fascinating that the estimate for earning over 100k is nearly bang on with the true lol
Fascinating!
Media companies that market themselves as news organizations should be graded on these surveys. It always blows my mind how uninformed the average person on the street is
Because of the media disconnect- grievance minorities scream the loudest and get media attention which makes their very small numbers seem much larger...
Well if you go by commercials these days their guesses are spot on! 🙄
Not a straight white non pussified man among the commercials.
Might I also point out the sources for this information are known to be heavily biased and use manipulative methods to achieve their desired results to push an agenda. So for certain points, like the gay/lesbian, trans, bisexual, are you a democrat, etc. You can probably take those percentages and half them, or even cut them in thirds or quarters to achieve the non weighted "True average".
Have to consider poll and survey manipulations when you look at stuff like this. It really puts things into perspective about how small of a minority the left is, and how big of a majority we are.
People who voted for peepads Xiden.. estimated=51%. Actual=<20%
How are these stats useful? If you are trying to market and sell something. That would make sense.
Some of these "estimates" are so wildly disproportionate that I'd question the survey methods used -- or else the intelligence of the average responder. For example, who could conclude that 30% of America's population (almost 100 million people!) live in New York City? (Or Texas, or California?) Why, when the world average for left-handed people is 12%, would it be 34% in the USA?
That said, I hope the 32% for "own a gun" is a result of sample bias, especially if fully 58% of America aren't D*mocrats.
Who were the losers that were being surveyed? Was it California college students?
In the closest town to me, the guessed black percentage is actually too low. On the other hand, I've been to Tennessee, so I know better. :)
