Have no doubt in your mind: CNN thoroughly believes that obtaining more market share means pandering to conservative confirmation bias and has done everything it can to shift in that direction over the past few years.
That being said, meh, it’s just one poll and it says what it says.

With a sample size of 687, the margin of error would be 3.67%.
And based on the methodology writeup, it looks like CNN’s “likely voter” screen basically assumes Democrats in a state where they rarely have a chance of casting a vote that matters aren’t going to to vote in election where they do.
But hey, keep believing in those likely voter screens, pollsters. Don’t let three consecutive elections where they made your results less accurate deter you.

Among Registered Voters, Orman leads – 49% to 46%.
The CNN headline about how Ebola was the ISIS of diseases was a real gem, too. All fear. All the time.

The CNN poll is an outlier.
