Hey, you’re the pro. I’m not saying these polls are right - I hope not. But I don’t think it’s the sample size but probably the sample weighting.

Weighting has a lot to do with the size which is what I just said. The smaller the sample with multiple factors the less confidence you have with the weighting. These samples are within the 10-15% margin of error and not a very accurate as they are low precision.
