It is at this moment I would like to remind everyone that 100 is the average IQ, which necessarily means that half of the people that walk among us are rocking double digit IQs.
No, 100 is the median IQ, but that doesn’t preclude there being a lot of people with exactly 100 IQ. Thus there would be less than half of the population below 100 (and also less than half above 100).
Something can be a fact and a belief at the same time. E.G. some people believe the moon landing was faked or that the Earth is flat. It’s a fact that the cost of living was lower under Biden yet some people believe that it’s lower under Trump. Those people are just as crazy as the flat Earthers, and yet they still exist. The real concerning thing is how many of them there are though. The fact that it’s not something like 1% or fewer that believes Trump is better is really concerning but sadly not surprising. Your average Trump supporter is really dumb and ignorant.
Because if 40% of people believed the Earth was flat you’d probably want to know that. It shows what a disturbingly large chunk of the US is just straight delusional and to a certain extent how we got into this situation in the first place. Decades after decades of propaganda and the constant stream of bullshit from places like Fox News and then Facebook has reduced a significant chunk of the US population into idiots that are literally incapable of just observing reality and coming to a reasonable conclusion.
Because for some people it can be cheaper, especially if they moved. So, the poll sheds light on for how many people are their lives more or less expensive even if on average we know most prices went up for most products.
Because they infer a lot about how people will vote. It is an election after all.
In short, we can demonstrate that something is a.favt, but if greater than 50% of the population doesn’t believe it then not much can come of it. Feelings don’t change facts, but they do change how people act upon facts
What do you mean “believe”? It’s not an opinion

It’s not necessarily half. There could be a group that is a fair bit less than half, but are so dumb they throw the averages off.
It’s a normal distribution so it’s pretty damn close to half
what does IQ have to do with the price of groceries?
Sure, but the poll itself is already dumb. Why poll opinions on a fact? It implies there’s any actual value or some truth to this.
Because very often people vote based on how they feel and that does not always align with the facts

Yes, but why even poll for that?

It does, but that doesn’t seem to have been the intend of the poll
Actually the average is like 103 nowadays im assuming from better nutrition than when IQ tests were invented about 100 years ago
Americans are obsessed with polling for opinions on measurable metrics for some reason
Because they infer a lot about how people will vote. It is an election after all.

According to my survey, 37% of Americans are annoyed you said this
