New York Times Warns Against "Polling Insanity"

Just how reliable can an opinion poll be if it shows Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton?

Funnier yet, a Survey Monkey poll has the Donald raking in 28 % of Hispanic voters. Looks like those wacky Quinnipiacs are at it again, by golly.

From The Gray Lady Herself:

Part of the problem stems from the polling process itself. Getting reliable samples of voters is increasingly expensive and difficult, particularly as Americans go all-cellular. Response rates have plummeted to 9 percent or less. 

I guess this is where we should insert the Dems also taking back both houses meme.
