    I can't know for sure. The other organizations like Pew, and Gallup will release the makeup of their polling populations to keep things clean and clear....which is a fairly common practice. I found no such information from Public Policy Polling which gives pause as to just how representative a sample this actually is.
    you could call them.

    My gut feel is, voters < 45 probably make up a smaller percentage than >45. But, gut feelings make terrible polling tools.
    you could call them and find out if that's what they did (used their collective gut as a polling tool).

    you're attacking the poll. there's a number you could call and ask them directly.

    You do understand that by excluding the population breakdown, they have done a nice job of calling the results into question without me doing a single thing. They ostensibly do this for a living. Let them carry the water.

    If it were a poll of the under 50, it's bad.

    Then a poll of over 50 years old would be a lot worse.

    But they don't bother to tell us, do they?

    With all the cross tabs run on the data, they don't bother to break it out by age? ing ridiculous. It's a 20 second pivot table, but by omitting this basic bit of analysis, it fosters the view that there may be an agenda at work here....even if you discount the bizarre incongruency of polling for Republican candidate preference and tossing in a question about inter-racial marriage.

    In short, this poll stinks by dint of purposeful or accidental exculsions of data and related analysis.
