Ah, so low voter turnout is now becoming a volitile loose cannon? And high turnout hurts the left, generally?

My emphasis to 'voter turnout' is in relation to 'likely voter' versus 'national adult' polling.
If 64% of 'national adults' are not 'likely voters' in midterm elections, then 64% of people polled by the MSM are non-voters.
Therefore, the fact that these MSM polls undersample GOP voters in most cases is only compounded by the fact that most people within the poll have zero value to predicting an election because they are non-voters.
Who cares what the opinion of the feckless non-voter is?
Moreover, this is why turning out your base is so important. Conservatives outnumber liberals. If it becomes a battle of the bases in an election cycle, we win.
51% of the vote was GOP in 2002.
51% of the vote was GOP in 2004.
