gay bashing online doesn't get to me

No matter what corner of the internet I'm on, I make sure my posts are the gayest. Believe me. They're gonna be the gayest posts you've ever read. Lots of people are saying "Crayons, your posts are too gay" and I say "Look, I'm gonna make the gayest posts you've ever seen

Unskewing was more done by looking at Party ID than looking at the demo data.

We have seen nothing else to suggest that Trump will get 32% of the black vote in NC. That is not just an outlier, but a stunning repudiation of any known demo leans.

EDIT: Oh.

They say the poll was conducted by SurveyUSA.

But yeah it looks weird.

In all seriousness, it's probably a sampling error.

Their N=400.

What is their N for black people? They don't say. Well, since their composition is 18%, and if they got lower response rate than that, it could easily just be a bit of bad luck. Oversampled a few black Republican leaners with a small sample set and end up with a bad outcome.

The gender split is also insane. Not like how they're voting, but saying it's going to be 50/50. It was 56/44 in 2012.

Didn't see this. Yikes!


edit: Was 23% black in 2012, listed at 18% here.

Ya, it's a messed up sample in a lot of ways. That's one of the things I always look at first. IDK why, but there's no way you're going to get a 50/50 gender split.

Demographics are really off based on 2012 and yet it's only a slim lead in a poll that Trump should be winning big. This is actually a horrible number for Trump given the demo breakdown.

I mean, it went to Obama in 2008, and we got close again in 2012. It's a swing state. And, like, I don't like bad data even if it favors my candidate. So....maybe?

Also, with those break downs, I feel like Trump should be doing better than +4.

Yeah, while SurveryUSA is a good pollster, the numbers are bonkers.

But better than nothing! Even with shitty breakdowns it's a close race.

Nate Cohn is now unskewing the Civitas poll. (Actually, noting the low AA and high old, white male samples.)

Exactly.

SurveyUSA is, as a good pollster, is supposed to get outliers. That's perfectly normal and all good pollsters get them.

My takeaway would be this. Given the demographics and results of this specific poll and that Trump is only up 4, this is a very winnable race for Hillary. There's no way around that.

Well it's probably a biased poll anyway with all the Republicans in that state.
It's going to be glorious if Hillary takes NC. LOL.

EXCLUSIVE: New poll shows Trump has a big Hispanic problem in Florida


Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appears to be facing an insurmountable wall among Latino voters in the key swing state of Florida: only 12.9% support among Hispanic voters, according to a new survey.

It is a "historical low for a Republican candidate," said Eduardo Gamarra, co-author of New Latino Voice, an online poll conducted by Florida International University and Adsmovil, which is surveying the Latino vote nationally over the course of 16 weeks. The last sample was taken between July 26 and 31, and for the first time includes specific results for Florida.

While Trump can afford to give up the Hispanic vote in battleground states like Ohio and Pennsylvania where Hispanics make up less than 5% of eligible voters, he can't afford to run that risk in Florida where the Latino electorate has greater weight, making up 18% of voters.

NC has had volatile demographic demographic changes over the last 15-20 years and has modern, large hubs of postindustrial economic activity that look more like northern VA than anything else. Population in the highly educated, diverse cities is rising rapidly.

Cementing VA and NC turn a perennially-bad electoral map into an impossible one for Republicans. It's a big deal long term for Democrats to start making gains in the state.

THAT'S what I've been looking for for weeks. Good. GOOD. Plus, many polls are undersampling Hispanics.

These are the people who want literally no government oversight so this isn't a surprise.

Reminder: I've been saying Florida isn't as much a swing state this year as in the past. Won't be in the top 3 closest states, probably not top 5.

Mark it, dude.


Also, friendly reminder. You're going to be seeing this a lot from me over the next 3+ months.

They need to vote, though. If they do, not enough "poorly educated!" white folks can save his ass.

I really want to see the interal GOP polling. For them to be panicking like this it must be absolutely terrible.
