2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The most accurate Iowa Democratic poll has just come out! [View all]NowSam
(1,252 posts)5. Poll not reflective of youth voters who don't have land line
But hey 42% voting for honesty and integrity PLUS great ideas is terrific. Even though we are within the main of error, let's assume that HRC is ahead in this under sampled poll. That means turnout is everything. This is about the future so it is only right that the youth decide.
Feel the Bern. It's all up to you kids.

It will be quite interesting to watch results. If general election is so close, I will need meds.

That wasn't the Des Moines Register poll - The DMR poll was the only one to call that race right
