IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
When you see polling stories dominating coverage, check what governance actions happened that same week—look for ballot access changes, rule rewrites, or institutional captures that require deeper investigation than opinion surveys.
Why This Score
This is polling data about public opinion, not a governance action with constitutional implications. It scores zero on all constitutional damage drivers because no institutional lever is being pulled. However, it scores moderately high (44) on distraction: it's extremely media-friendly (polling stories are cheap content), released during a week with multiple high-A events (Michigan ballot demand, asylum rewrites, J6 conviction erasure), and shifts focus from accountability to horse-race demographics.
