I thought it might be interesting to put up the latest polls for Michigan going into the primary and compare them with the results afterwards. Only the Michigan State poll has it close, projecting 52-47 Hillary. The other polls all have double digit margins

I am hopeful these polls are wrong and that Bernie can pull off a win today. I suspect it will require a big voter turnout among young people that the polls have not anticipated.

(20,453 posts)They lie and they lie and they lie again.... And then, they lie some more. And, then, they take a break and lie some more.
And for desert..... LIES.
And when they dream at night, it isn't of a fair playing field for the people they lie to. It's so they can win.
And WE ALL LOOSE.
May every lie bounce off those who the Clintons take aim and may the truth shine through.

The students are mostly locals. They would still vote unless they really have enough money to go on vacation which I doubt. Students are poor.

(73 posts)by 2013, 41% of US households rely on cell phone and have no landlines. The % is much higher for those 18-44 (the group that vote heavily for Sanders). 66% of those 25-29, 60% 30-34 and so on. The least are those in 64+ (14%) who vote heavily for Clinton, and the same for those 45-64 (31%). By law, cell phone can't be autodialed.

(3,017 posts)I suspect these polls aren't accurate which is why I thought they would be worth looking at before and after.

(3,017 posts)I am one of those. I look at caller ID and if it isn't somebody I know I don't answer 90% of the time. I think pollsters make multiple efforts and then call another number, but the people who won't answer calls from pollsters could vary from the ones who will.

(18,791 posts)Don't know the number, we don't touch it...and 99% of such calls are then hang ups, so we don't know where the heck they are coming from.
Maybe it's back to the snail mail flyers.
