In case you need to dispute the new MI poll from Zia that has Trump +4










It has Biden and Trump tied among black voters...

The pollster hired to do this, Zia, is a New Mexico pollster that had HRC only winning New Mexico by 2 points in 2016. (She won by 8.3 points). Why would they hire a New Mexico pollster to survey Michigan??

Did the overpoll 45 to 64 year olds intentionally 40.9% seems a lot

It also reported more favorable Trump results.

No way is Gen X larger than Boomers and Millennials.

I am actually a millennial but I am right at the border and all of my friends are at the tail end of Gen X. We have 10+ years of working experience and worked our way into managerial positions with better pay. We all have advanced degree and we are mostly first generation immigrants. But it was disturbing to me to find out that quite a few of them became Obama>Trump voters in 2016. I think taxes became a big issue for them.

In 2016, at least, the older the voter the more likely they were to vote for trump.

and then say all polls are wrong in 2016. I wanted to get the specific counter points in case someone needs to dispute the poll. Trump tying black voters with Biden is one that Trumpers can't even argue with.
