Unskewing Monmouth's Iowa Poll

[tblue37]

133. Yes, in 2008 the Dem Party in my state had a caucus rather than a primary.

It was my first time to vote in a caucus, though I had always voted in primaries and in general elections.

Therefore, at age 58, after being a regular voter for decades, I participated in a party caucus for the very first time. If a pre-caucus poll taken in 2008 had excluded people who had not participated in a previous caucus, I would have been excluded.

Nevertheless, I suspect that first time caucus voters who have always voted but who have never voted in a caucus rather than a primary make up an extremely small percentage of caucus voters, so probably the polls that would exclude people like me are actually not significantly skewed.
