"Why are like, polls even a thing maaan"

In this instance in particular, we're comparing two polls with vastly different results, supposedly obtained from the same population, one using live calls (Police Commission) over a 3 month period and one using automated calls (Mainstreet) on the same day. This calls into question the veracity of a statistically unlikely poll (the one showing 94% agreement).

I question as well whether you actually read either poll beyond the news blurb, as both polls contain a breakdown in demographics.

Continuing to play intellectual grabass and re-framing the discussion to your liking is only pushing the commentary further away from "how the hell does anything get a 94% approval rating, ever?"
