Given how weird some of the internet surveys have been in the past year, I don't take singular polls all that seriously.
While you're right that polling that has traditionally been spot-on, or very close in the past has occasionally been way off in the last five to ten years.
However, isn't Ipsos a fairly well-respected organization in its field? The kind with enough experience and resources to account for any kind of biases?
I'd like to see another big polling organization as the same questions and see if the results are the same.
4% of respondents were pretty sure they were going to kill someone soon
So, if there's a 4% margin of error, it's could be either 8%, or 0%.
