As someone who has worked for a Polling Firm for four years during a Presidential Election , I get really frustrated at the responses I am seeing to these pathetic polls numbers . I really wish people would stop panicking. Barack Obama is doing way better than it looks. Now, I have tried in the past to explain the differences between likely voters , adults and registered voters, but I guess I am just boring people.
So, I will try one more time to explain this to what I am now calling the (WORRIERS FOR OBAMA )who don't understand how the polls work. I'm going to explain this very elementary. I'm going to use pictures to illustrate so you will understand this. Okay ? When you see a poll that says (Likely Voters) it means they are only giving you the results of certain types of voters. Not all types of voters.
Since most of the polling results we are seeing are for (Likely Voters) I want you to know what that means. It is a group of people that Pollstes believe are the most trusted to show up at the polls on Election Day. It's made up of people who are considered to be the types of people who always vote. So, pollsters always want to know what's on their minds. One problem. Their template is outdated and that means the polls are no longer reflective of the (Likely Voters) because they leave key voting blocks either out or underrepresented.
