On the question of “democratic party unity,” they leave out frustrated millennials that support Sanders. Specifically, they leave out the 18-49 demographic.

They didn’t get enough responses- that is why pollsters now ask for ‘the youngest person’.
I believe you’ll find their responses included in the totals, where it counts.

If you look at the rallies that show up for Trump, you see all across the country, the Americans that live in America, they are all colors, they are all ages, and they are the people that are holding this Country together...
Hillary ‘dreams’ of having rallies like this, Bernie was the only one that could come close, and he didn’t even get to what Trump has...
People in America are smart, they know they have this last chance to save America from the NeoCons; GOPe; RINOs; New World Order and we are not having any part of it..
Buckle up and enjoy your ride on the ‘Trump Train’ that will stop at the Oval Office in November...WOOHOO...Let’s Roll America!!!
While this is a great point, and I am not able to read the data, I was under the impression that most of these polls were done on line as well. And that biases toward a different demographic.
So, depending on the answers and the outcome they are looking for any given poll, they have some techniques they can employ: 1) phone call surveys 2) Internet polls 3) Sit in Central Park and survey passersby. 4) College Campuses.
According to the poll, it includes 601 interviews among landline respondents and 402 interviews among cell phone respondents.
Trump and the RNC need to spend some money to get some fair polling done
