The Dems have harnessed the high tech big data algorithms of Google etc. Obama's Nerds had a file for virtually every registered voter in the country. They did not use poll samples. They took actual voter registration files, all public information, and gathered massive I formation about every voter. Magazine subscriptions, occupations, addresses, education, Etc. And they figured out the best ways to get Obama voters to the polls. They didn't just have hunches. They have files of actual scientific experiments where they tested hypotheses and measured actual official voting records. The people with skills to do this and available time to do it are typically graduate students or young professionals in computers and social sciences such as economics, social psychology, political science. And these people rarely want to help Republicans so Dems have a huge advantage. David Plouffe recently said he thinks Hillary will gain one to three points in swing states from her superior ground game. And these people don't guess about these things. They have rock solid specific measures based on rigorous measurements.
That one to three point advantage may be why Obama outperformed 2012 polls. And Hillary may also outperform them for the same reason.
The election starts Friday with early voting in North Carolina. The great Democratic get out the right voter machine revs up its engine then. Go Blue!
