    Because people are morons and I guarantee that there’s a non-zero number of Democrat voters who will think “Oh, he’s running again? I heard he was a very good president but I thought he was assassinated. I must have been wrong.”

    A lot of voters are woefully uninformed and only vote based on loose name recognition and gut feeling.

        Generally speaking, for any poll, you’ll see about 10% support for anything.

        “Would you eat a cactus while sitting on a pile of scorpions for a Klondike bar?”

        ~10% - “I gotchu fam.”

        When I worked in market research I sometimes wondered as we got to the fringes how much of our measurements were the insane, morons, or just compulsive liars.
