9. That 45-64 age group seems really skewed.

Most other age groups have about a 10 pt spread or less favoring Democrats, and over 65 is a 50/50 split. Most recent elections have had been a near 50/50 split. Since the last election we've had an insurrection, Trump's attempted coup has been exposed, and Roe was overturned. But somehow we're supposed to believe 45-64 year olds want more Republicans by over 20 pts? That's outlier shit and should have raised flags for the pollsters.
