Looks like another poll with sampling bias...

No. You should read the voter registration statistics.

NC Voter Statistics Results

Female: 3,640,905 (53.03%)
Democrat: 2,715,039 (39.54%)
Republican: 2,067,392 (30.11%)

It's right there in the database. Women are likely over-represented because Clinton's turnout operation has a heavy focus on women voters.

Will these early voters be able to change their votes as more and more trash comes out about Clinton?


As far as I know they are all voting for Hillary without a thought towards her running mate... Tim who??? He will very possibly have to take over for Clinton and if he is really like how he acted at the VP debate America is in trouble.

would rather have Tim Kaine than either Trump or Pence. Of course Hillary is the top choice but Kaine is an awesome VP and would make an excellent president.
