Political polls typically don’t make me laugh out loud, but a new poll from September, INC of voters in Arizona and Nevada did. Hard… In a public place…
Over 3/4 of Arizonans prefer an arrogant ass over an unrepentant criminal. It’s unclear who the arrogant ass is, but there is more clarity who the unrepentant criminal is.
They polled 518 likely voters in Arizona (MOE +/- 4.38%) and 516 likely voters in Nevada (MOE +/1 4.38%) some non-traditional (to say the least!) questions developed “from actual comments by regular, working Americans at bars, in taxis, and at sporting events and pizza joints across the country.”
They are (obviously) a Republican-leaning pollster. The Arizona poll had more Republicans than Democrats (34% to 30%) polled. In Nevada they polled more Democrats than Republicans (38% to 35%).
Granted, one poll, but one that looks very, very bad for Hillary Clinton. Some of the answers of the questions could actually apply to both candidates in my opinion though.

This poll was funny, but also sad when you consider what the two major parties have to offer. The sweet meteor of death looks very appealing. It may be a binary choice in terms of outcome, but individually it doesn’t have to be. Take time to consider all of the presidential candidates on your state’s ballot.
