Yes we know about the "weighting" and other techniques. Zogby first used "weighting" in 1996 election and was one of the 2 polls that were even close. ALL of the other polls were so far off that they exceeded their "margin of error" by as much as 10%!! So much for "margin of error"

Look, you can call x number of people in a county and so on and so forth. It means nothing, except that the results can be used as voter suppression and that is damaging to our Republic. We have to go vote no matter what on election day, do not allow ANYTHING to suppress your enthusiasm your donations your volunteerism because quitters never win and these polls are nothing but get rich quick schemes for the pollsters.

If done correctly, with no handicapping for dems, results of polls CAN be accurate. Problem is everyone these days has an agenda, everyone is so opinionated that they can’t see past their bias.
