Sorry, there's no weighting in these polls ~ they do a nationwide random sample ~ call those people ~ then get their numbers.

What you are describing is a stratified poll with pre-selected individuals of given characteristics and persuasions. Such polls can be done AT IMMENSE COST!

They may not admit this poll is weighed but anytime a poll mentions sub samples then they did weigh it. They may have randomly called people but there is a series of questions they ask before they get to the poll that they don't admit to. I was almost polled last week but it immediately ended when I said I made over a certain amount of money.
