“Why weight polls at all?”
CNN reported the other day that Republicans were refusing to participate in their polls.
The result was a poll with a huge democrat oversample showing Hillary ahead. Useful poll? Probably not.
A pollster can oversample on age, race, gender and income as each of these typically stays the same throughout a person’s life and can be pegged to census data.
However, political party affiliation changes from year to to year and even from day to day. With that, political affiliation cannot in itself be a quota cell and cannot be an instance of over sampling.
LOL. Pubbies refuse to play? Sorry, don’t cut it. Pure bovine scat. Thresholds for demographics means you ain’t done until the requirement is met. If it is easier for CNN to find libtards that is their fault. If they can’t find enough Pubbies to do a legit poll they need to either quit polling or change their bias.
