The Quinnipiac polls released today contradicts the voting that has already occurred. [View all]

For one thing, overall popular vote has Hillary up + 2.2 Million over Trump, and up 3.1 Million over Sanders

What really makes one question the Quinnipiac sampling is that Hillary won Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania by large margins over Sanders. Those are NOT question based polls, but represent how people ACTUALLY VOTED.

Not only do I question the samplings, but I would like to see the breakdown of how the people polled identify themselves. As Democratic, republican, or independent.
