"I think it’s very plausible that for years pollsters have been over-representing educated voters...."

They still don't get it.

It appears that they are saying that if a person doesn't have a 4 year degree they are "uneducated". Not "less educated" or "having only graduated from high school". Uneducated.

I doubt calling such folks idiots (in so many words) is going to cause many of them to vote for a party that holds them in such low regard.

I believe that they are unable to understand that many of those who have NO college degree have more REAL education than many of those who DO. Secondly, a college degree is worth far less in the job market than a high school diploma was worth in the sixties.

It is all about credentials now, a college degree is just an easy way to reduce the number of candidates to be considered, in many cases it has little or nothing to do with actual qualifications for the job. College graduates are accepting jobs of a level which would have been filled by high school DROPOUTS in the fifties and sixties because MOST recent college graduates could not pass a high school final exam from that era if their lives depended on passing it. Education has been replaced by indoctrination, we are reduced to importing engineers and physicians from India while young Americans try to pay off huge student loans by working at jobs which my generation would have scorned as eighteen year old high school graduates.

I don’t no how many highly educated idiots that there are out there. I notice the more one talks about how intelligent they are and how educated they are the bigger there is a lack of understanding about having areas they are not will informed in... IE biologist thinking he is qualified to talk about climate. an English major thinks she is brilliant at public policy. everyone has areas that they are not as will informed as others but democrats want to fool them selves that theses idiots don’t matter for them personally that they have a deficit and the strength of there education will make it so they make the correct decision... some times the person who makes the wise decision understands that there info is incomplete but they have to come to a conclusion’

... and that's on top of the party elite considering you to be a racist if you happen to be white. Yeah, being labeled and "ignorant racist" makes me want to vote for your candidate. No surprise that pollsters get ignored.

These days we should refer to that group as “unindoctrinated” instead of “uneducated”.
