The third possibility is that it's not noise, exactly, but a reflection of some real difficulties. As I said last night, we really struggled there; the voter file was surprisingly bad. And it's our first time polling there--the last top battleground where we've never done a poll — PolitiTweet.org

Another possibility is that it's noise. This is a small sample at N=450, and there's no way around losing precision at that point, even though we have decent party variables. Maybe if we polled it again, the exact same way today, we'd show a number that came closer to our prior. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm reminded of our Michigan poll last October, where we had some similar challenges on our first swing through, without the benefit of knowing just how the file would play out. It's possible that a more tailored design would yield better results than the default approach — PolitiTweet.org
