I get your point but in this case the divide is for similar reasons as that of the US, so it is a fair comparison

I agree with you intuitively, and I do think you would get similar results if you were to use decent measures. People do usually have a good idea of polarisation in their country. I'm just saying, as far as science goes, this is such a poor measure. Note, I was just using Argentina and USA as an example off top of my head.
