Seth Meyers decides to conduct his own, totally legit poll in Iowa

(Image credit: Late Night)

Not wanting to be the only person not conducting a poll in Iowa, Seth Meyers decided to grab a phone book and start calling numbers in the Hawkeye State. Meyers was rejected by many, but some allowed him to ask such out-of-the-box questions as "Why do you think Jeb looks so sad all the time?" and "Would you do CrossFit with Martin O'Malley?" and "On a 1 to 10, how sexy do you think Bernie Sanders is?" (That random Iowan's response? "Oh my God, yuck.") Watch the video — complete with a cameo from Meyers' mom — below. Catherine Garcia
