Why are polling firms including Deez Nuts as a candidate?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

He's a 15 year old who shouldn't even have been allowed to file in the first place and the fact that polling firms are including him just makes them lose all their credibility for me

For the lulz.

Lighten up.

Has anyone besides PPP polled the name? They always include joke questions in their polls.

IIRC, you don't have to be 35 to run for President, you just can't take office if you win.

[Kamala-Tim 2024]

He asked them.

[Mister Mets]

It's honestly significant because of the way it demonstrates how flawed polls are.

Lighten up.

No.

I agree. I also have a major issue with any pollster that includes Biden (an undeclared candidate) with formal candidates. I believe both of these are nothing but a disservice to those of us who truly want to know the "current" status rather than speculation and distraction.

Isn't it useful to get a reminder that the current status might not be accurately measured?

To get publicity

I assume that one reason is to get on the bad side of Very Serious people such as yourself. This kind of attitude is just one of the reasons that I believe in full legalization and public distribution of marijuana to the masses.

This and it shows how opposed people may be to certain match-ups. It also shows how crazy some voters can be.

Lol no, it just shows that when you ask silly questions people stop taking the poll seriously and give silly answers. It's like when they polled Obama vs Charlie Sheen.

[Senator Cris]

Because they are STUPID.

Often, polling organizations will include a non-serious answer in their polls, just to gauge what percentage of the population isn't answering the polls seriously. It's actually quite an effective thing to do.
