Hmmm. Mitch up in polls because of likely voters..didn't the republicans

[shraby]

gerrymander so many areas are mostly republican? How many likely voters came from these areas?
Question for pollsters. What areas did you poll to get your figures?

1. Gerrymandering doesn't affect polling.

2. Or Senate races.

3. This is a Senate race, gerrymandering doesn't factor in

It's a statewide race, no gerrymandering.

McConnell has consistently been +4 to +8 ahead in the polls since August, today's poll showing him +5 is right about where they have been at for two months unfortunately.

4. Gerrymandering figures in when they contact "likely voters"

They know exactly what area code to call.

5. and in the context of a poll you are 100 % right

There might have been a day when a poll was to gauge a persons acceptability or not. Today polls are used to try to sway opinions.

[DesMoinesDem]

6. No it doesn't. And people's area codes don't change when their congressional district does.
