Forgive me for this, but how do we “know” they are oversampling Dems?
I heard this in 2012.
And before that, I heard this in 2008.
As it turns out, however, in both instances the polls showing obama in the lead were correct.
So I’m skeptical of this line of argument, but would like to be better informed as to why this oversampling might be the case.
Thanks Timestax!
Very nice analysis since it goes into subtle factors that are generally missed by the average person.

The poll had 7% more Democrats than Republicans, even though according to Gallup there are only 3% more Democrats.
C’mon. It’s from Orly Taitz the most serious minded dentist-lawyer in America.
Because Trump isn’t McCain or Romney
and
Crooked Hillary isn’t Obama.

Seriously! That is ignorant!
Did you even bother to check out her facts. They are spot on. Seems you shouldn’t be taken seriously!!!!!
What??? They didn’t poll cemetery Democrats?
That would have really thrown it to Hillary.
Hillary isn’t going higher then her 42% Democrat base.

That includes cemetery dems!!!
Another factor is that the GOP primaries we up 60% in voters. For the dems, it was down 20%. The Sanders camp is not on board 100% either.
Given the lack of enthusiasm that Hillary has, I question the oversampling of dems in 2016 is accurate.

How dare you question FR’s birthright argument against the polls - that they oversample Dems? Don’t you know this is the Orthodox Creed of the FR Intelligentsia?

The Sanders camp has said that 30-50% of his voters will not vote for Hillary. That translates to 4-8% of overall democrats voting. If that is true Hillary is dead. Add to that all the other factors like 60% more pubs and 20% less dems and a huge majority of white men for Trump etc. and Trump is going to do the same thing he did in the primaries.
First he was barely noticeable then out of nowhere he pulled out in front.
By October trump will appear as if he is running unopposed and his candidacy and the word landslide will go hand in hand.
29% of those polled said they are not registered to vote ! They polled 34% D & 24% R....this is an agenda poll.
I agree. This is so far shaping up to be a big Trump win. To get Cankles up by 5, they have to oversample Dems by 10. This is also “adults” (add another point or two to Trump) and doesn’t begin to address voter enthusiasm.

I’m just a junk yard mutt and don’t know any better but I am very clear on which side my bread is buttered. It’s on the Trump side.
The poll has to reflect the dead vote and the multi voters and the illegal vote.
