The Young Turks did a really dumb segment suggesting that CNN had maliciously skewed a poll to downplay Bernie and boost Biden. This led to Nate Silver rightfully skewering them. As a past target of Nate’s sassy trolling, it pains me to say this, but I stand with Nate

It’s also a little naive to think these polling platforms—most of them well funded—undersample young people bc they don’t pick up the phone. They have the resources to reach more young people-they just choose not to

And frankly-Nate Silver is an arrogant wonk extremely out of touch with the electorate. Like

The poll didn't skew older. The number of respondents skewed older, and that's why they give greater "weight" to young respondents, to account for that very discrepancy.

Like I said I didn’t watch TYT segment so not sure which CNN poll they are referencing. The one I reported on a few weeks ago polled less than 125 people under age of 40 (913 total polled)
