Anyway I find this all very hard to understand. The NBC/Marist poll is, AFAIK, the only major live interview telephone poll at this point that's not weighting by education in some way or another, and I can't explain why after reading 4000 words on the matter — PolitiTweet.org

@LeeMiringoff @maristpoll I think it is likely that education, on its own, is insufficient to ensure a representative sample. What I don't understand is why it is either a) unnecessary or b) disadvantageous. If it correlates with both vote choice and nonresponse, why *shoudn't* we weight on it? — PolitiTweet.org
