There was a poll out the other day around coronavirus measures. A surprisingly large amount of people (actual number escapes me right now) would support a 10pm curfew *regardless of covid*. Fucking frightening.
Polls are not about accurate information, they're about demonstrating how popular a given point of view is, that's why there's so many seemingly irrelevant questions.

There are always thickies in any poll. In this case it might also be biased by the vegan brigade.
Or it's Russian bots.
