    I don’t answer polls as a GenX, but I sure as hell vote in every election. I will never vote for a Republican. Polls won’t capture voters like me, and voters like me are not just millennials and zoomers.

      Polling isn’t as simple as adding up responses and reporting the percentages.

      They use complex methodologies to account for inaccuracies exactly like your good self.

      That’s not to say that polls are necessarily accurate - clearly they aren’t, but to say “polls won’t capture voters like me” is incorrect.
