hold up

2018-09-01 14:02:11 UTC  

is this like the trafalgar poll in indiana where boomers are like 90% dem or some shit?

2018-09-01 14:02:18 UTC  

that's a fucking crazy number

2018-09-01 14:04:42 UTC  

if that's the only discrepancy, then maybe it's a valid poll, but we'll definitely need more polling info before we decide anything

2018-09-01 14:35:24 UTC  

Geez that's some upset

2018-09-01 15:10:36 UTC  

Ok

2018-09-01 15:12:03 UTC  

Marini, you're like 16 right?

2018-09-01 15:12:16 UTC  

Do you have the ability to volunteer for Mike's campaign?

2018-09-01 15:16:30 UTC  

This poll seems trash.

2018-09-01 16:05:54 UTC  

Let's see

2018-09-01 16:06:35 UTC  

yeah, until further polling comes, I suggest keeping this at likely dem at most

2018-09-01 16:06:53 UTC  

I really don't think that this is very unbelievable with the youth part.

2018-09-01 16:07:37 UTC  

Small sample

2018-09-01 16:07:49 UTC  

but not unusually small for a US Representative race

2018-09-01 16:13:34 UTC  

Miller has unusually strong support among Hispanics, according to this poll, but it's actually pretty comparable to what Bush got in 2004; congressional races have these sorts of anomalies fairly frequently in Florida and Texas. Miller wins the male vote with a plurality, and loses the female vote by eight points. He wins "other"--a group consisting of only 18 persons--with 50%. This is likely due to the incredibly small "other" population. The 18 to 29 age bracket suffers from a similar issue, with only 16 persons answering. So these two look like the Mason-Dixon "60% of Greens voting David Duke" thing.

2018-09-01 16:14:45 UTC  

It isn't really weird or bad.

2018-09-01 16:14:57 UTC  

Just not really good enough.

2018-09-01 16:21:50 UTC  

Oh okay, NOW it makes sense

2018-09-01 16:22:07 UTC  

so it's a legit poll then, just suffers from low sample size among youth

2018-09-01 16:23:08 UTC  

Yep. Also, oddly Miller is losing to the Democrat among the 50-69 group.

2018-09-01 16:48:43 UTC  

oh shit

2018-09-01 16:48:54 UTC  

I just noticed the real issue with this poll when I accidentally hit the tab again

2018-09-01 16:49:03 UTC  

Their sample is like 75% white.

2018-09-01 16:49:22 UTC  

The district is only like 50% white.

2018-09-01 17:10:30 UTC  

Well do whites turn out 75% relative to other ethnic groups?

2018-09-01 17:13:31 UTC  

Unsure. It's plausible.

2018-09-01 17:45:49 UTC  

So district's like 60% white, 25% hispanic, 10% black, 5% asian. given that hispanics and asians have very low turnout, and blacks vote at a bit of a slightly lower rate than whites (probably will be similar turnout this year due to Gillum) then I don't think it's absurd to say that the poll represents the likely voters

2018-09-01 18:04:47 UTC  

yeah not hard to imagine that whites would be 75% of likely voters

2018-09-01 18:04:56 UTC  

the poll appears to check out

2018-09-02 14:36:34 UTC  

@FLanon I'll check I hope so

2018-09-02 14:39:19 UTC  

Doesn't seem like there's a age restriction
