11. Here you go,when it comes to Polling

they are using registered voters from 2014 who voted in that mid term. The Numbers are skewed when you look at the method being used. 2014 turn out sucked as we all know so there is your remaining aggregate group that gets polled.

Again,there are variables,landline,Cell Phone lists. Little bit of side bar here,have been phone banking to make sure people are aware of are they registered,who are they supporting,are they planning on voting in November. What I encountered was this,first,the number of registered Dems who have out dated phone numbers,that have canceled land line phones,or have changed cell phone carriers and now have new numbers that are not on their Voter information cards.

Now you understand my criticism of polling being done in the last year or so. So for all those who might by chance read this,please,check your Voter Registration Info,especially if you are registered as a Dem. Most States have on- line info bases that one can up date their info.
