Political Polls Have Gotten Kind of Weird Lately

Usually political polls are limited to feeling out how voters feel about candidates or controversial issues, but this year there have been some particuarly strange polls. For one, the New York Times polled Republicans to discover that nearly 20 percent of Trump's supporters were against the Emancipation Proclamation. 

Even stranger, around 38% of Florida voters said that they think Ted Cruz could be the Zodiac Killer (10% of those believe he is). This is in spite of the fact that Cruz was born in 1970 and the Zodiac Killer was active in 1978.

These may be some strange polling topics, but I think you Neatorama readers could come up with better ones. What would you want to ask voters?


I'll wager that there are those who think 911 had nothing to do with radical Islam. Yes, all too many folks who vote are not really very intelligent. Let's face it, Abe Lincoln could not get elected today.

'Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer" is a joke, I really doubt anyone legitimately believes it. It's just fun to give a nonsense vote in an inconsequential poll.
Though I'm guessing the Trump voters just don't know what the emancipation proclamation even is lol
