I don't buy any head to head match ups yet. The las two cycles McCain and Romney were either ahead or very close at this point. Meaningless til nominee is set.

That said, don't fall (as I admittedly did in the past) for the notions of "weighting". Most polls are pretty accurate, as we found---twice.

Well, Hillary in the mid 40s, R's within 5 or less (Including Trump) and high undecideds is not a good sign for her in BLUE Minnesota. Plus - The sample is pretty close. Point well taken about the weights. Oversample of 3D is margin of error stuff. It is when, like some of the national polls (I think CNN) I have seen where you have a +10 D sample (Nationally) that I wonder about...
