Why not? And what is young?
actually the case in population, you won't get a result that represents the population. Right?

1/ But how do you know what the “correct” breakdown of party is to weight for? You could do that for a registered voter poll, but...
-
2/ for likely voters, there are much more predictive screens than party ID.
-
3/ and then you’re expecting voters to accurately report party ID, unless you’re calling from voter rolls instead of random digit dialing.
-
Right. But why bother to ask (which they all do) if they assume there's no reliability or legitimacy?
-
Because the shifts in party ID are a very interesting *result* of the polling, not a valid way to weight the polling.
-
Perhaps. But I would argue the party sample, even if self-ID'd can be *very* relevant to results on political topics.
-
Oh, it’s very revealing about the overall mood of the electorate, along with who’s likely to actually vote any given year...
