In this modern world, we're polled and surveyed to death. It seems like every day there are new results and percentages emerging on one thing or another. The blitz gets mind-numbing, and one must always consider the source.

Happily, there is some good news, sort of. An April 2015 study by Pew found that those likely to hold such embarrassing opinions are in the minority. In that study, 48% of Americans identified as Democrats or Democrat-leaning, 39% as Republican or Republican-leaning, leaving 13% as wishy-washy/undecided/too busy/lazy/don't care/independents. What a country!
