Reporters shouldn’t. Polling outlets should in the interest of transparency.

Just going to remind whoever needs reminding not to go trolling through crosstabs and hyperfixating on results for groups with tiny sample sizes, especially for numbers that don’t get emphasized or mentioned anywhere in the reporting.

Look, polls have biases. But slso, the MOE for a subgroup of n=96 is about +/- 10 points. Add in the design effect, it’s +/- 13 points. For the vote margin it’s +/- 26. For the change in the margin since the last poll, it’s about +/- 50 points. That’s just accounting for random sanpling.

I don't feel like the national media is conveying right now what a catastrophe is unfolding in western North Carolina.

Department of Transportation electronic sign, reading "ALL ROADS CLOSED IN WESTERN NC" and then "DO NOT TRAVEL IN WESTERN NC"
