This changes everything.

RealClearPolitics - 2016 Latest Polls
I just looked up that CNN poll which came out yesterday and makes it the latest poll.
http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/im...16.general.pdf

"BASED ON 878 REGISTERED VOTERS AND 12 INDIVIDUALS WHO PLAN TO REGISTER TO
VOTE, FOR A TOTAL OF 890 REGISTERED VOTERS"

WTF? That's how they are checking the pulse of a nation of over 300 million people?
And who picks these people being polled? I'd say that 900 people from Chicago would have a completely different political view than 900 people from Kentucky.

Anyway, it's just kind of jolting to see how few people these polls really represent.
For some reason I thought that all the Presidential polls used at least several thousand people nationwide.
