Real polling firm asks real voters if Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer

If you weren't already aware, a sizable demographic of Twitter sleuths and conspiracy theorists believe that Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz may be the Zodiac Killer, the infamous madman who terrorized northern California in the late 1960s and early 1970s but was never caught.

Cruz himself has yet to deny these allegations, which is perhaps what gave Public Policy Polling—one of the most respected polling firms in the country, even if it does lean somewhat Democratic—the opening to ask voters where they stood on the matter. 

Naturally, the Zodiac hunters were thrilled.

So, how did the question play? Glad you asked.

We're still awaiting final results, although we can say one thing for sure: Public Policy Polling has now been buried under requests for more trolling questions.

Meanwhile, the Zodiac mystery remains unsolved... or does it?
