2016 Postmortem

KMOD

(7,906 posts) Tue Sep 6, 2016, 11:20 PM Sep 2016

I decided to do another poll, this time at the mall [View all]

and I was especially interested in collecting enthusiasm data.

Here's what I found.

80% of the people I asked were voting for Hillary.

20% either ignored me, or said "Lady, I'm just trying to shop here."

As far as enthusiasm with the Hillary voters,

10 people were willing to give me a high five.

5 people smiled.

2 people asked me if I was a real pollster.

1 asked me for directions to a store.

Nobody was willing to do jumping jacks on camera, except a four year old who also did summersaults and sang me a song as well.
