The process of modern polls is stupid and entirely inaccurate and insignificant. I don't answer calls from unknown numbers, a lot of people don't, but I bet more republicans do because of their general lack of a brain. They never pan out and are always all over the place.

I really hate the dismissive talking point that "republicans are dumb" because I have republicans in my family and in my life that are not stupid, went to better schools than I did, and work demanding jobs.

While there are dumb people of all political stripes, it's that modern republicans are usually:

a) very old
b) frightened by change
c) religious
d) greedy
e) enjoy cruelty
f) are good old fashioned proud bigots
g) some combination of the above

When we declare they are all stupid, it's inaccurate, but it also gives them something of a pass by lowering expectations and relieves them of the responsibility of agency.

No... some of them are just shitty people that want even shittier people to run things.
