What do you use to understand public opinion instead of polls?

Asked by thisismyusername (2940points) January 14th, 2018

Fluther seems to be very anti-poll. And when I have asked what is used to gain information about the public’s thoughts/opinions on issues, I have not received an answer.

If you do not read polls or look at trends over time in polling numbers, what do you use?

Surely, you have some idea about the popularity of certain candidates, the public’s opinion on abortion, marijuana legalization, same-sex marriage, etc? If so, what informs these ideas?
