2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCNN 49 H 44 T (LV)-- But Trump does slightly better with RV
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/10/24/cnn.poll.pdfLooked at the internals. CNN has Trump doing slightly better with registered voters compared to likely voters at 47H -43T
I'm no Nate Silver, but as far as I can remember RV always seems to be +Dem about 3%. Either this is a new trend showing D enthusiasm or this poll is backwards somehow.
I get the filters and everything, just really not used to seeing a Republican do better with RV vs LV. For example the Sept 1-4 CNN Showed Trump +2 LV but H + 3 RV. (That poll was a tough one.)
So by my reckoning I think H is at least +7 or 8 in the most recent poll because there is a sample problem with it.

(68,868 posts)2. CNN has a pro-Trump house effect of about 2-3 points.
Likely voter screens can produce inconsistent results.

To me, it means that the "tRump supporters" can't get them selves motivated enough to get out and vote

(23,968 posts)5. CNN needs it to be that close for ratings. Probably a landline only poll.

18-34 age group it appears. Best samples were over 50. May not have been intentional but I'm betting it was.
