This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There were probably more questions on that Gallup poll that had below 50%. Curious to see what those were.

The actual poll is here, but it's locked behind membership; I can't find any additional downloads. https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/ipoll/study/31088367

The original article that the graphics came from is here, though: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/29/politics/americans-predictions-1998-2025
