Discussion for article #229361
Suffolk polls usually suck and this one appears to be no different. Once again they can’t find an accurate representation of the state demographics. I’m no expert but…
Out of 500 likely voters only 11 of the 500 represent the 18-25 vote. Now I know that they do not vote in as large numbers as presidential elections but 2 percent when they certainly make up a larger percentage, at least to me, seems very low.
They found four American Indians in Louisiana to poll (Census percentage 0.8) and ONLY 7 Hispanic/Latinos to poll (Census percentage of state 4.7).
And the No party/Ind Group seems to skew very heavily republican. This group does not appear to be distributed as other state independents. JMHO.
