Where do they get these numbers from? Can these numbers be verified?

In all my years, I have never been contacted for a poll. I have never met a person who had participated in a poll when asked, nor has anyone I ever met mentioned, on their own, that they participated in one.

"Like most people, I have never seen a pollster." -- Thomas Sowell

Every time I go to Gallup or Pew, they only show results of hundreds and thousands of polls that seem to be changing and updating faster than the front page of Reddit.

As a result I think all polls are just social propaganda that only reflect a resemblance of truth, only if not doing so is universally unbelievable. I highly doubt 51% of Republicans support any of Obama's executive actions, and definitely not for anything inhibiting the 2nd Amendment; this is impossible.

Some people call personal experience anecdotal, but the words definition contrasts personal experience with so-called "facts" which is in itself a flaw to me. While it's true people might misunderstand their experiences, their personal experience is the most and only reliable thing they have to consider; all other sources are secondary.

I mention this, only because if a poll, statement or so-called "fact" doesn't compliment personal experience I'm going to reject it; or at the most, take it with a grain of salt. And the thought, that only ~30% of Republicans support Trump, and not more like 90%, or that 51% of Republicans support Obama taking an executive action and playing dictator, or such action is intent on inhibiting the 2nd Amendment, I know the poll is totally fabricated and not a single person was asked or their answers taken seriously.
