The polling sample was weighted heavily on voters age 62 and older. I wonder what that means.
The 62+ group went 33% for Trump, lower than the poll average of 34% for Trump.
I think I heard this same meme about sampling in 2012 when polls came out showing Obama beating Romney. Cruz is going to lose handily in SC, it's reality. Only firewall right now is Cruz getting over 50% in Texas. I doubt this is going to happen. Cruz is done, only in the FR echo chamber is Cruz still a viable candidate to win the nomination. Unless we have a total Trump meltdown or something very serious comes out about him besides some position flip flops stick a fork in this one, Cruz is done.
Means they have answer calls from unknown numbers, are ticked off, and have time to voice their opinions. 5800 is a big poll. I bet Trump is behind it. Why else go the cheap way and robocall your poll. Bet it cost less than a lot of the 500 respondent polls. Even though it is weighted older, Trump wins no matter what.
Seniors vote at a higher percentage than anyone else.
It might mean that the WWII baby boom generation is now a major portion of the population.
Seniors may still serve as the single group of highest voter turnout. Wonder if that was factored in? Seniors do show up at the ballot more so than open borders or legalization types might that are for Cruz and Rubio.
Seniors are also possibly highly Evangelical, and that might indicate why TRUMP busts Cruz even among Evangelicals (Cruz’ supposed “firewall” voters).
