Rasmussen has said women answer the phone 5X more often than men and this has to be weighted away for legitimate measure.

Not here, my dh answers the political calls. I am keeping my vote a secret...from the pollsters.

"Rasmussen has said women answer the phone 5X more often than men and this has to be weighted away for legitimate measure."

I've no dispute with that. As I said, if the pollster weights for something then you can make a case that the weighting is wrong. If they don't, you can't. Just reporting a result isn't weighting.

I do think the polls might be off for another reason, and that's turn-out. If the people that actually show up to vote end up being a slightly different make-up than the ones being sampled then you can get a surprise. This has happened. It's what happened with the Brexit vote. It may very well happen here.

I can totally believe that.   ;-)
