The second thing is that there’s a religious illiteracy problem in the Democratic Party. It’s tied to the demographics of the country: More 20- and 30-year-olds are taking positions of power in the Democratic Party. They grew up in parts of the country where navigating religion was not important socially and not important to their political careers. This is very different from, like, James Carville in Louisiana in the ’80s. James Carville is not the most religious guy, but he gets religious people—if you didn’t get religious people running Democratic campaigns in the South in the ’80s, you wouldn’t win.

i think it is true that the democratic party's professional class is very heavily dominated by 20 to 30-somethings from an urban area on the coast. our staff should be as diverse as the electorate we want to capture, and not just in a racial sense. that said, there is no silver bullet and i don't think "religious illiteracy" is some sort of major obstacle.

Well young people are getting less and less religious, but you could take that as an argument that navigating religion will be less important as much as one that they'll be bad at it.

The DNC should set up a site for weekly surveys/polling for everyone who's a registered democrat. It would only make sense considering they based their entire loving election on "poll" data and literally nobody that I know has ever been surveyed.

If they're so data centric you'd think they'd want to get as much of it as they could to determine exactly what policies/topics that their base wants their candidates to pursue.

Yeah let's pull them from landlines, that's a better idea.

I just don't see how it would hurt when compared to the bullshit data we went off of this entire election season with hillfolk getting high on farts.

If not by online poll/survey then at least call all the people on the register, I know they have my number. Make the polls based on like 100,000 rather than like 1,000 old people who watch MSM and have a land line.

they poll cell phones as well - it's 2016 - and they work to make sure demographics are balanced. polling 100k people on a regular basis is incredibly impractical. they pull from samples of the voter file using standard statistical techniques.

If scientific means everyone thinking Clinton had a 90% chance and it fell apart in the last hour to a crushing defeat then maybe it's the dumb poll.

Online polls showed that nobody gave a gently caress about Clinton even as far back as the primary and the dems ignored them only to fail.

Isn't "scientific" polling a political term almost wholly unrelated to being good or effective polling beyond "randomized, statistically significant" (which is a really, really low bar), and isn't it pretty much limited to voting intent?

I honestly don't trust anyone in the party to ask the right questions or effectively analyze the data of any sort of real opinion poll built to guide policy. That's something even actual professional social scientists often have trouble doing well.

Scientific polling isn't the same as good polling.

or maybe it's that 1. polls are a snapshot in time and have difficulty accounting for late movement and 2. that they have margins of error and there are various assumptions that can result in methodology errors that can't be accounted for. moreover, you're talking about election polling which depends on predicting both vote share and whether or not a person will turnout - very different than attitude surveys.

i think the fact that we don't have presidents bernie sanders and ron paul show that online polls are utterly useless
