Yes, but we only have a few days to educate and motivate voters.

Let's not forget the pollster "Porn" here or the papers that published this propoganda

I think the pollster did all right for this kind of race. It's really difficult to poll write-in races. The fact that Cassis would only get 52% after people were given her name suggested she was pretty hopeless for the real election.

They didn't ask the questions the right way. Anyone could have told them that so I don't really give them any credit. You have to conduct the poll by mimicking what a likely voter will encounter at the polling booth. That's not what they did.

I think that was a push poll, most weren't paying attention to this primary with McCotter out, that's my opinion, but let's keep this thread bumped to screw with anyone who missed this victory

What would you done differently?

Mind you this was a robopoll.

I have a hard time figuring out a better way of doing things.

If it was a push poll, pretty much everybody in the district would have been contacted and there'd be some negative messaging in it.

This was the case of a poll in which the pollster did a fairly solid job - I think the poll findings are pretty consistent with the final result - but the press/analysts had no idea on how to interpret what the poll was showing.
