You voted in an online poll, the other numbers come from a poll of registered voters (whatever the fuck that means).

Maybe they can explain the 23-point discrepancy in Ryan's favor compared with the CBS poll.

They are not taking about the website poll, they are talking about a poll of uncommitted voters they took after the debate
