So, how is it that in the newest WSJ/NBC Poll 45% of those polled approve of the job Trump is doing, yet he is only getting 43% of the vote? It seems that if I were doing a national poll and was concerned about accuracy, that might send up a red flag.
While I'm here, why do people under 50 years old make up 50% of the poll when in 2016 they made up only 43% of the electorate? I thought America was growing older?
Why did the poll have only 48% of non-college graduates when they 2016 electorate was made up of 63% of those with no college degree?
Finally, what to make of this:
What exactly is the representative sample of Hispanics in this poll. From Q2b it seems Hispanics make up 10%. However Q2c sems to show 4%. Whatever the actual %, Hispanics and Blacks were both 10% of the electorate in 2016, however Hispanics now make up over 18% of population, Blacks just over 12%.
These disparities in the poll makeup vs. voter turnout could make a large difference in the election outcome. I am sure the pollsters know this though.
