I understand that but do they take the sample further to relect the electoral
votes of each state? I don’t think so.

That was the genius behind Nate Silver (538 Blog) formerly of the New York Times who predicted the outcome of the 2012 election accurately. Silver has since moved on to ESPN but his political statistical model was based on state polls in conjunction with the 538 Electoral College votes rather than national samples.
