Pretty close. 7 with 4 point MOE and a sample infected by 20% “adults”? This is very close.

So why do they say 600 polled of which 400 are likely voters. It’s not clear if the sample is 600 or 400.

“Hillary only up by 7 in Maine?”

Once Republican VOTERS realize that winning with Trump is far better than losing with Hillary (Republican elites will NEVER get that), Trump will climb 5 to 10 points nationally, and Maine, apparently, will be in play.

That has to scare the crap out of the Dems.

I see this a lot in polls. For some reason they drop people out from their questions or conclusions for some reason. It makes me suspicious that these pollsters 'pick and choose' to shape how they want their polling to be for desired results.
