A question about CA polls: McClatchy only polls dems and

[cali]

that's true of at least one of the other recent CA polls. How about the others? Are they also polling only dems? Does that skew the polls as it's an open primary?

1. No. Look at the internals and you see indies were included.

3. But youth are not well represented

Go to a college campus and ask people if they have a landline phone. My entire generation (I'm 28) only has landline phones under wierd circumstances. We all use cellphones unless you need a fax at home, and even that can be done over the net now. And I'm old by college standards heh.

5. And how many indies will turn out?

It's possible more than the sample size turns out.

2. I know that California Field Poll is polling Dems and indies.

And I believe Zogby is polling indies as well.

You really shouldn't take other people's word just because they post it, doesn't make it true!

8. Some people saw the word "Democrats" and ASSumed

I figured I'd check the demographics in the PDF before passing judgement :yoiks:
