Pulse of the Nation

[jducoeur]

It's always fun to see what Cards Against Humanity are going to do with their money. This time around, it's kind of brilliant: they've commissioned a year of good-quality polling, called Pulse of the Nation.

But of course, it's not just any old polling. Yes, there's the question about Trump -- but there's also one about whether you expect a civil war in the near future. There's one about how many Republicans you think support white nationalism -- and then a cross-check against how many actually do. Who would you prefer as President -- Trump or Vader? Do you think robots will take your job -- and how many Transformers movies have you seen?

The real beauty, though, is in the depths. If you arrow down, you see the main questions and responses. But from each slide, press the right-arrow key to get into more detailed and correlations. These get downright fascinating, with items like "What Percent of Democrats Do You Think Would Say Most White People Are Racist?", and a comparison with the actual number.

Some of it's pretty predictable; some of it's downright surprising. All of it is very out-of-the-box thinking, as you would expect from this group. Funny, thoughtful and well worth a read -- check it out...

The survey is as hilarious as the rest of the stuff. I'm so glad we put money into this.
