Adam, literally no one (as far as I'm aware) thinks that Atlasia polls are remotely accurate. The left always under-performs in them. The sample set is always going to be radically different to the actual electorate and there's nothing much that can be done about that without some absurdly complicated system.
e: I do appreciate the inclusion of my all-time finest post though. 
Of course, but as a nerd who loves monitoring polls and loves this game, I've enough experience to know when someone is ginning them by PMing people, which is sad on both my and Riley's accounts.
Yeah, I do think there's an important distinction to be made with polls like approval ratings or whatever vs. election results. The active population is massively different to the electorate at large, mostly due to the simple mathematics of the Atlas demographics. So you'd end up with a situation where Napoleon had 10% approval or something (active population) and yet won a Senate seat at the end of his presidency (general population). It's tricky to navigate because it's probably more important on a meta-level to take into consideration the concerns of the active populace, but that can often be ignored by, uh, virtually everyone, because they're only a fraction of the voters.
I don't see a real solution to that. Anti-zombie legislation is utterly unworkable and would probably kill the game, actually. Atlasia survives as pretty much the only half-functioning political simulation I'm aware of precisely because it has a large number of people who vote who aren't officeholders.
And yes, gold next time please. It'd even be appropriate for some DRs.
