Scott was on the tube the other day. He said: he is not manipulating the D-R number one way or the other. He says they simply make the contacts and, based on the answers to questions about past voting history, intention to vote and enthusiasm, he classifies them as “likely voters” or not. Then he asks about party ID. Specifically, he asks “as of today, do you consider yourself R, D or I.” If his contacts reveal a party advantage in the likely voter model, it’s simply the fact that that is what he is seeing according to his model.
So much conflicting info .... I just assume he’s a businessman and in his business, he’s the PR arm of the business, he’s not sworn to uphold the absolute truth, so he bends where it benefits him and where he doesn’t feel it hurts anyone else.
I’m really really really ready for today to be November 8. (Leaving the 7th for the O campaign and media to focus test protesting the result.)
