13. I suspect you are referring to steve kornacki, and he is basing that on a "battleground" poll

which was extremely misleading:

The way they grouped those battle group those battleground states, and the sampling numbers really make this poll very questionable

when they take about 40 people from each battleground state, that isn't even scientific

That being said, because winners are determined by the electoral college, not the popular vote, and we are six months away from the election, anything can happen, but I sure wouldn't rely on this poll.

Look at the individual state polls, with a valid sampling, an you might have an idea at this point in time

The polls sure called the winner of the Democratic primary




Betting sites are garbage
