Is it just me or are their demographic samples skewed? Based on the exit polls from 2012 in Florida, they seem to have over-sampled African Americans and under-sampled Hispanics. NYTimes exit polls has African Americans making up 13% of the 2012 FL electorate, and Hispanics 17%, yet the poll here shows 16% African American and 14% Hispanic. How would the AA share jump like that and why would the Hispanic share be lower than 2012? Even if we ignore the likely Hispanic voter surge this cycle, demographic changes alone would put the Hispanic electorate past 2012's share.

So am I missing something here or...?


Putting aside their clear errors there, 70%+ of the 18-29 vote for Clinton in FL would be somewhat consistent with voting patterns of people 18 - 29 since 2004. FL youth (18-29) voted Democratic 58% in 2004, 61% in 2008, and 66% in 2012. So against the Donald, it wouldn't surprise me if she cracked 70%, though, not 78%.

Honestly, looks more realistic. The race is definitely a tossup.

Boy, look at those polls. There is just no way anyone could even come close to accurately guessing who is going to win! It's just SO close!
