we ll ask a research specialist tracking cultural trends in america. george, good to have you here. thank you very much. i want to us talk about the fact it s confusing to most of us who see the polls day after day. and they just have wide swings. this is a great example, the 11-point swing on the congressional election. why such a big difference? there are many different answers to give. you have to look at the question they re asking. it s always about the question. here you ask people who would you vote for, republicans or democrats? you don t vote for the republicans or the democrats. you vote for a republican candidate or a democratic candidate this your district. you don t get to vote for a party nationally. so the question itself doesn t make sense. secondly, you have to look at other things behind the scenes that you will never hear about, such as who was chosen, how were they chosen?
