    My tepid take, every poll should report with error bars, would help somewhat, like I know they report moe but still, visual would be best to convey that quickly.

    Doesn’t help that in my experience, people just don’t have a great grasp on statistics, was a common complaint of a statistician friend I worked with for years. As to why, stats specific courses weren’t required when I went to highschool, I hope that’s changed.
