Turns out there is a major problem with the CNN Ohio poll released today that shows Trump up by 4. This article (http://www.politicususa.com/2016/09/14/cnn-trump-lead-ohio-polling-50-years.html) shows that the sample CNN used had only 18% of people under 50 years of age in the sample vs. turnout in this group in the upper-40% range in the past 3 cycles.

I bet 82% of likely voters in ohio this november aren't going to be over 50 as this poll sample suggests.


1. What do you think?
2. If trump can only be slightly ahead with a bogus sample like that, how bad is he really doing?

Well you know it's been said many times that CNN is highly Pro-Trump. And that explains a lot.

Yep. Last month they had a poll where over half of the sample was white men without a college degree.

They are in the bag for the gop.

Sorry Bethere, I don't need polls to validate my opinions.
