So 8% of US adults is ~ 21 million people.
Unless 2/3 of respondents are simply lying (and unless back of napkin math is just WAY off), suspicions are confirmed that the 7 million people estimate for Oct 18 No Kings was a drastic underestimate.
Key point: there are WAY more of us than them.

Two hours left to vote in NYC! As of 6pm, compared to 2021, Turnout looks to be slightly higher in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and lower than 2021 in Queens, The Bronx, and SI.
Can’t predict a thing, but would rather be Mamdani than Cuomo (for oh so very many reasons).
EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
