5. Depends On Who They're Polling
They may limit it to their subscribers or a specific demo that reads their magazine. With a higher repugnican turn out in the past 2 elections, it would make sense that an organization that polled them would see their results verified, but this election has a far different dynamic.

The confusing thing is the way the Electoral College can make a close election look like a blow-out. Win the right states and you're golden.

These elections have become a big poll suck...it's the lifeblood of the 24/7 cables and the chattering class and a good statistician can dig into even the worst numbers and come up with something positive.

Cheers...
