"You should ask a statistician"

I think I will take you up on that:










P.S. There's a little thing called weighting. Pollsters weight their findings to match the census, registered voters, likely voters or any universe of respondents they want to measure, regardless of the amount of respondents in any subgroup-


Weighting
Weighting adjusts the poll data in an attempt to ensure that the sample more accurately reflects the characteristics of the population from which it was drawn and to which an inference will be made. Weighting is used to adjust the relative contribution of the respondents, but it does not involve any changes to the actual answers to survey questions. The table below shows how weighting will affect data.

Pollsters weight their model to represent the electorate. Period. No pollster is going to have a model with nobody under 45.
