CNN seems so desperate to stop the Sanders surge. [View all]

A new CNN poll showed that Clinton gained some ground on Sanders, but the sample was a bit skewed. The issues with the sample are:

1) It's majority landline poll.
2) It's skewed toward people over 50.

If turnout under 30 exceeds expectations, this poll will be even less statistically cogent - a large chunk of millennials don't have landlines. And of course, the sample includes registered Democrats. Many Sanders supporters haven't yet switched party ID or have yet to register.

The sample can be viewed here:
