### QAnon Polls, Demographics of Conspiracy Theory Beliefs

- **Published:** 2023-07-23

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1575-numbers-station/chapter/qanon-polls-demographics-of-conspiracy-theory-beliefs.md

A poll conducted by Democratic candidates is used to categorize believers in government "cabals" as primarily unvaccinated, male, conservative, and non-college-educated. The NPR segment links these demographics to QAnon beliefs and the refusal to eat insects. The hosts argue that NPR is promoting a form of state-sanctioned bigotry against specific American demographics.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1286-rory-s-dad/chapter/pollster-interactions-social-security-scams-voter-paranoia.md

Personal experiences with pollsters reveal a growing reluctance among voters to answer questions honestly due to fears of surveillance or retaliation. One account describes receiving frequent calls on a landline, including a bizarre Social Security scam that devolved into pornographic commentary. The general atmosphere of intimidation is compared to historical authoritarian regimes, where citizens are afraid to express pro-government or anti-establishment views.

### Al Roker, Polite Company and Educated Women Voters

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/876-election-special/chapter/al-roker-polite-company-and-educated-women-voters.md

Al Roker and other NBC personalities discuss why pollsters failed to capture the Trump surge, attributing it to voters being afraid to admit their support in "polite company." The segment notes that educated white women, a demographic the media expected to favor Clinton, actually voted for Trump in significant numbers. The hosts argue that the mainstream media has lost all remaining credibility.

### Pollster Failures, PC Culture and Archduke Donations

- **Published:** 2016-11-10

The hosts discuss how political correctness prevented people from telling pollsters the truth about their support for Trump. They suggest many people claimed they would vote for Jill Stein just to avoid harassment. Archduke Dwayne Melancon is thanked for his $880 donation, and a "Sharpton mix" of jingles is played.

Van Jones posted a video warning that the Brexit vote is a precursor to a potential Donald Trump victory in the US. Jones criticized "smart liberal people" for being complacent and argued that pollsters are missing the intensity of voters who are uncomfortable with immigration and multiculturalism. He urged the Democratic base to stop being "put to sleep" by reassuring polls.
