and if so, why?

Whenever I see a useless presidential Gallup poll nowadays, all they do is prove that the country remains split in two and that its voters will vote in polls along party lines only....and not with their brains, which in effect makes almost any Gallup presidential poll meaningless. There are so many presidential polls that come out 50/50 or 51/49, when you know in your heart that it's just not the case that they should even be that close. One side will not give in to the other, even if they know they're wrong.

The ONLY Gallup poll I saw recently that hit home with the truth was one that addressed the question of divisiveness. It asked the question if the inauguration will help heal the division in the country, and 79% of the pollsters said no.

It's nothing new around here, but we all know that this president has been the most divisive in history and will probably remain this way. I believe the division is obscene and approaching catastrophic proportions like we've never seen before.

My question to you is what is the single biggest reason he's divided us so terribly? Is it religion? Is it the war? Was it something even before the war? Was it the 2000 election being stolen? Or could it be the simple fact that because he's so stupid himself he's divided the country up into stupid people vs intelligent people? What do you think it is? I'm curious.
