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

If you look at the new Emerson College poll—it has Biden up by 8 points. Why the smaller lead than the other polls? Because only 53% of those they polled were over 50 (46 % polled under 50). Hence, when there’s a more equal age distribution, Biden is not up by 15-20 points.

By the way—this kind of polling doesn’t only hurt Bernie. Hurts Warren, Butigieg, Beto, and Harris.
