The author of the article was apparently research director for Patrick Buchanan's Republican primary campaign against President George H.W. Bush.
So, he should be used to losing elections.
Think he made his stats up?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Yes, by all means let's dismiss him because he's not a democrat.

Probably not. I'd guess he's got a lot of free time.
Basically, he's saying that if only all Americans were like him, his guys would win the election.

I didn't dismiss him. I found the article rather unpleasant. He's looking down his nose at a lot of people.
By all means dismiss his elitist snobbery because he's not a Democrat.

As some folks like to say around here, data is data.
If the data is true, it means that people with more needs voted for Biden, at least on election day.

As @LuFins-Dad said, many many people would not have been asked, so the poll is “skew” already. I think our math people would would agree it is very in reliable.
If I go to a Chinese restaurant and stand outside the woman bathroom and count customers, my conclusion would be that only woman eat At this Chinese Restaurant.

140,000 is a pretty good sample size.

I've found that people are much more willing to accept the results of polls that confirm what they believe.
I mean, we're being asked by conservatives to believe that all the polls prior to the election were completely bogus, but this one is accurate. And presumably, the opposite goes for liberals.
The results don't surprise me, at any rate. Disadvantaged people tend to vote Democrat, they tend not to have as good jobs, they tend to live pay-check to pay-check.
All the stuff about going to church is nice. The majority of Americans don't go to church. I don't go to church. The idea that if everybody started going to church the Republicans would win is fascinating from a psychological perspective and all, but probably irrelevant since church numbers seem more likely to decline than increase in coming years.

It would be an interesting poll to ask prisoners in jail if they were religious or not. My guess would be that the majority say that they are religious.

Depends if they are on death row.

Funny how that works... so many people think they are just too intelligent to believe in God, after all, that's just some ancient mumbo jumbo ..... then when the fecal matter hits the oscillating device for them and they come face to face with their own mortality.... They beg for God.
Even atheists eventually believe...

If I was on death row, I don't think I'd want to believe in OT God, because in that scenario chances are things are only going downhill after the injection.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Oh, I'm not talking out of my hat...My wife's uncle worked Death Row for years. I've been places down at Angola that you never could...After the guys knew me, I've had bars clang behind me many times as I was trying to get papers signed (guards don't always have relief). Camp C, Camp A and Death Row. I used to eat down at Camp F a good bit...White beans and smoked bologna over rice and a slice of cornbread ain't bad.
Even back years ago, when Old Sparky was in use, I was down at the prison a good bit during hunting season. One of the guys I hunted with, bagged the remains after execution. So I've been all over the grounds and I've talked with a lot of cons.
You'd be surprised at how many churches are on the grounds of Angola. Prisoner built, some of the work is pretty durn good. Lots of love in those boards. Many of those prisoners on The Farm will die on The Farm. Their coffins are built in the woodworking shop. Most if the time, nobody wants the body, so they get buried on the grounds.
If grey walls are your life, religion offers hope. It offers a certain kind of mental freedom before death and spiritual freedom after.
