Just to be clear, we don't think that people answering this way are actually under 30 or Hispanic.

It's that people giving inaccurate data on questions about submarines are also giving inaccurate data about their demographics, falsely claiming to belong to these groups.

Sorry to go on about this, but it's is so funny to me. 12% of people under 30 who opt into online polls claim they have a license to operate a nuclear submarine. So do 24% of Hispanic people polled by Pew.

The actual number of people who have a license to operate a nuclear submarine is 0%.

Last year, my colleagues talked to a group of people who, while they may vote, are not strongly attached to either political party. By and large, they look at the nation’s politics as a topic better avoided than embraced. Here’s what some of them had to say:
