That wasn't a part of the study. But that is a valid concern. I mean, both sides are over-representative of their portion of the population. Non-Hispanic white, conservative, likely male, that doesn't equal up to 73% of the population, either. If we are really going to get into demographics, might as well go whole hog.
But this wasn't looking that deep.
