Re: The ABC POll And The Battleground Poll That Showed A Tied Popular Vote* Race

Even though Professor Wang at Princeton Consortium warns against making inferences from a poll that change the poll's results, i.e. you think this or that subsample is wrong, since those results are already factored into the polls, I find it hard to believe O and R are tied in those polls when they are showing no gender gap and no deficit among independent voters. If a candidate is up 8 with women and down 8 with men he should be leading as more women than men vote.


*Popular Vote. This has little to do with the Electoral College Vote
