Repeat after me.

There are more Democrats than Republicans.

I don't trust the polls, or their methodology as being very relevant
unless the gap is quite large, which it is not.

One thing I do want to see, however, is less people willing to waste
their vote on Gary Johnson, and more willing to waste their vote on Jill Stein.

They didn't survey everyone in the country, geesh!

Let's make it simple: If you survey 1,000 voters and 600 are Democratic and 400 are Republican, would it be surprising that Hillary might dominate in the poll? If you look at the methodology involved, it paints a picture.

That poll would be called an outlier but I highly doubt there is a poll out there that you can point to that has 33% more Democrats than Republicans. These people have been doing them for decades, they know what they are doing.
