A new poll from YouGov/The Economist released this week showed folks who voted for Trump in 2016 trust Infowars—the infamous conspiracy site headed by Alex Jones—about as much as the Post or Times.

FFS... Like the few dumbasses they polled is everyone who voted for Trump. Some of you people have such narrow minds it's surprising you don't suffer from a stroke.

Trump's base has more than it's share of poorly educated people and I'm not talking about their level of schooling.

This is infowars:

The 9/11 attack was an inside job by the U.S. government as a pretext for going to war.

The Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.

The true cause of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death was covered up.

The government uses “weather weapons,” including tornadoes, to murder people.

"Pizzagate is real," Jones announced on one of his videos, referring to the claim that liberal Democratic politicians were molesting children in a Washington, D.C. pizza restaurant.

It's not just a few of the Trump base that believes this garbage... js

What do you know about how sample size relates to confidence intervals, in polling?
