it's 30% if you only read the title, at the end of the article it says:
unless you check how they conducted the poll, you don't know if either one is correct.
was it made in an university campus or at the exit of an NRA convention? those will give you wildly different results.
The two claims are not in conflict. Election polls account for propensity to vote.
The 36% will turn out to vote. It will be an uphill struggle for the Dems to get turnout high enough to defeat them.

Dangerous times.
