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

What is their "weighting" methodology? if there are so few voters in the younger brackets that they write n/a in the crosstabs whatever they've come up with to compensate for this certainly deserves a ton of scrutiny if it is to be taken at face value.

And that weighting is very problematic. When you take groups too insignificant to merit crosstabs and multiply their results, you explode the margin of error for the entire poll. Weighting is not a substitute for a properly-distributed sample.

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)

When it comes to poll accuracy, take a refresher on what happened in 2016. Oversampling does not work
