This looks like about the laziest poll I've seen this cycle.

Look at the report. They called 900 people via cell phone randomly making no effort to target or report demographics. They diidn't tabulate percentage of r/d/i responding, m/w, w/b/h, etc.

What exactly is this supposed to tell us? That 50% of the people who answered a cell phone support trump? That's helpful.

It is just candy for the media. It's the absolute quickest and cheapest poll they could pull off without going digital.

Sheesh.

EDIT: I missed a couple of points in the report:


– This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline andcellular telephone interviews Oct. 24-29, 2020, among random samples of 915 Florida registered voters, including 824 likely voters

They also did list the r/d/i ratios, just hidden a bit. Democrats-Republicans-independents – are 31-35-29 percent among
registered voters and 31-36-28 percent among likely voters in Florida.
