Ok, I looked up the poll.

9 NB in a sample size of 1075 people.

5 of them approve of Trump. 1 has no opinion. 3 disapprove.

5 have a very unfavorable opinion of Mills. 2 each for very/somewhat favorable.

2 somewhat favorable for Platner, 4 somewhat unfavorable, 2 very unfavorable, 2 never heard of, somehow this still totals to 9.

Only 3 answered who they’d vote for in a democratic primary, all for Mills.

Where did they find 5 non-binary Trump supporters out of 9? Something was to be up lol.

Honestly, best guess? When asked “Can you please tell me your gender?” they went on unhinged rants about not having a gender or pronouns, and here we are.

Digging further into the crosstabs:

4 democrats, 1 independent, 4 republicans

3 each for voting in the democratic primary, republican primary, and not voting in the primary.

5 non-white, 3 white, this totals to 9 again.

Ages 1 in 18-39, 5 in 50-59, 2 in 60-69, 2 in 70+, also totals to 9 again.

Yeah this is indirectly data about how .5 percent of people answering the phone in Maine are "get mad about the word 'pronouns' on the phone, but complete the poll anyway"-type people.

Handy to know what to expect

It was the last question. Maybe for a reason. gabi-thinking

You're probably right about something being up but if there was ever an answer to the question "Where did they find 5 non-binary Trump supporters out of 9," that answer would be Maine.

yeah doesn't look like you can draw any conclusions from this, it's outliers in a small sample
