Polling data

edit

I have some concerns about the reliability of the polls shown in this article as of today's date. One of the two companies doing the poll is a Republican pollster. The second seemed to have some anomalies. For instance, it has a sample size of 741 or something like that, and only one Asian was polled, though they're 1% of the state's population. (That poll's single responder was very strong on Republicans and Trump in particular.) The poll was also conducted just a few weeks after a hotly contested election which Cameron won by about 10 points. There was no Democratic primary, so no TV, etc., ads. Then this article just came out that indicates that the governor's chair is expected to be the most vulnerable of any Republican in the country, with Indiana also thought to possibly change. https://www.whas11.com/article/news/politics/bevin-holcomb-seats-could-switch-parties-in-the-upcoming-election-and-in-2020-says-national-journal/417-e52eb030-9469-4ee7-8899-a6a4e6c6fa90 The state Democratic party has a significant edge in registered voters. In those primaries where there were contested primaries for a particular seat (i.e., Governor, Secretary of State) Democratic votes substantially outnumbered those cast for Republicans, in the neighborhood of 150,000 voters per race.
