Regarding this poll. Looking at the methodology (quoted below) one has to wonder if all this weighting of random calling doesnt taint the results. Its like asking 800 people a question and then using some concocted bell curve formula to get an estimated result. QUOTE: Samples are weighted to correct for unequal selection probability, non-response, and double coverage of landline and cell users in the two sampling frames. They are also weighted to match the national demographics of gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, population density, and phone status (cell phone-only/landline only/both and cell phone mostly). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2013 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older U.S. population. Phone status targets are based on the July-December 2013 National Health Interview Survey. Population density targets are based on the 2010 census. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting. gallup/poll/180365/barack-obama-hillary-clinton-extend-run-admired.aspx
