2016 candidate Rand Paul explains why he thinks the polls are wrong on FNC's 'The Kelly File' and MSNBC's 'Morning Joe.' JOE SCARBOROUGH, MSNBC: Senator, if there is a surprise tonight as far as somebody doing much better, I think it's you. I think -- You've talked about it, your supporters don't seem to be as represented in the polls as others. SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: One of the interesting thing is when you look at the polls, sometimes there is nobody under 30 in the poll, often there are very few people under 40 in the poll, but typically in the caucus about a third of the voters in the caucus are under 40 and yet they are not showing up in any of the polls.

Rand Paul - one of the 1%ers.
Never watch that Biathch
It's not the pollsters. It's the difficulty of pretending that the clients requesting the polls (the politicians and media) aren't the problem.
He’s right. The pollsters overestimated his support.
Nah. He and his daddy are slow on the uptake. Wonder if they smoke pot.
If RP doesn’t like the polls, how does he like the vote count? In Iowa he beat Jeb Bush, Carly, Huckleberry, Chris Christie, Santorum, and Gilmore and Kasich.
Just wow! Way to go, Rand!
Those who use AI-based searches of peoples' internet surfing patterns will get progressively more accurate.
Can’t get anything past Rand.
I actually am surprised he didn’t do better in Iowa. So much for the college students being behind him.
I think all the college kids went to Burney, because he’s gonna forgive all their student loans.

lol. True. I can’t believe the college student even fall for this. Let’s say Sanders does get in. Does he have any clue how difficult it is to get anything through Congress especially one that is of a different party? I wish someone would ask him how he will get these things through Congress. Bernie has about 70 trillion dollars worth of spending so far...........he is nuts especially since he believes that we have that many billionaires to pay for it.
I thought most of Cruz's followers were aged religious followers that tended to be highly educated. (ie. those that still have home phones). I imagine it is harder to poll those that don't have home phones (and change numbers every other year). Internet polling is a thing, but I imagine there is few older folks (college educated) that bother with doing them since they require you join these poll groups that dole you out rewards for filling them out.
That leave having to go door to door in some place that is not NYC with those unwashed rural dwellers. /s
The polls about Rand have been pretty accurate.
The Nevada caucus should be interesting.
I can’t wait for the time when I can open my mailbox again without cringing.
Those days are not gone...
They never really existed.
