They also chronically overestimated the youth vote and underestimated the impact of blue collar voters in the cities and along the MA border.

I think someone either the media or polling led the other astray.

The big idea was that this big college vote was going to help Obama. I think the polling firms believed it, and oversampled the college-aged vote. When the college vote didn't turnout as expected - then add the undecided push to Hillary from Sat. on. It kinda makes sense. I think the Obama was softer than thought.

So I think Obama lost some of his people in the post Sat undecided push, add that to mix, so it really starts to add up.
