Yes, I get that. I was talking generally about polling data, not the specific Newsweek poll.
Another issue that polling organizations are having to deal with is that a lot of younger adults don't have land line phones. Neither of our kids do and both are politically savvy and active and have never failed to vote in an election. They won't be on the polling list, so this cohort is under represented in polling, just like folks with no phones were under represented in the famous "Dewey beats Truman" race.
