This is a Catch 22 in polling. As a Democrat I will choose "Going in the wrong direction", but because of MAGA, not Biden, and it is easily misconstrued
The recent New York Times/Siena College poll showed 65 percent of registered voters believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction — including 42 percent of Democrats. - NYTimes

@gemswinc Even more reasons why polling is meaningless... One of my degrees is in anthropology and a big part of that was studying how to make good questionnaires. It's amazingly hard and the folks doing the interviews have to be highly trained not to in any way show a preference. People want to be 'accepted' so they answer what they think folks want to hear - including folks around them.
@TrueBloodNet @gemswinc And when you consider that the polls are being deliberately created _on purpose_ to manipulate rather than illuminate, it's even worse.
