I just returned from voting with my younger son. It was very crowded compared to my past experience (25 years) with that precinct. Still, the wait was under a half hour.
BTW, it’s raining and chilly in Atlanta this morning.
I few weeks ago I asked my FRiends a question to which I received no response. So, I’ll try again: What’s up with the report, largely buried in the press, that only nine percent of folks contacted by pollsters agree to participate in the poll? Seems to me that situation must result in an over-sampling of democrats. But, maybe a method exists to compensate for that low number. Thoughts?
That has been Iowahawk's message all season. All polls are garbage because of low response rate. I think the "method" you mention to compensate is the special sauce each pollster puts in their poll. Ironically, it seems the most irrelevant piece of information in a poll is the question: "Who are you voting for?"
