You may live in a more educated social bubble. I recommend joining some poor district or countryside bar or sports club and listen to political opinions to get an idea.

Maybe a more educated bubble, but lately it's just a really small bubble, that's why I ask. I wonder how much media influences our perception of how common different views are.

I think reputable media tend to favor the opinion of the intellectual elite because it is written by it.

Who are "intellectual elite"? Like what makes someone fit in that category?
