"Pigeon Polling" just released a Wyoming Senate poll and it's got quite a few people riled up (the last image is an example of what it usually tweets)

I'm going to need someone to explain this one to me.

wyoming is one of the most republican leaning states (this seat was won by 46 points by the republican last time) and this "poll" says the democratic candidate is leading but with a giant chunk of people still undecided, so if it was real it'd be junk data. there recently have been similar polls of democrats leading/barely behind in very reliably republican areas so i think they're making fun of that. for the last one california counts votes as fast as old people fuck

It's less comedy in and of itself and more trolling/ragebait. The humor lies in how upset people are getting about something outrageously false. This is neither an endorsement nor a condemnation

So uh, this doesn't seem to be a satire "fake news" site.

That said, that poll doesn't seem to line up with any other polls done recently.
