Doesn't not weighting polls by education usually mean the poll is bias in favor of Democrats? Because whites with college degree are much more likely to respond to polls and much more likely to vote for Democrats, compared to whites without a college degree.

Or am I wrong about that generally? Or is it correct but Florida is different?

That's not what weighting by education means. It doesn't mean having more people in the poll who have gone to college

Right... but because whites with college are invariably more likely to respond to polls than whites without college, not accounting for education in polls is almost always going to oversample those with college degrees?

4 pages for a single state poll in less than a day has to be peak Atlas.

Isn't this good? It's a political discussion board. And we have a high quality poll from the largest competitive state. And it's finally after Labor Day.

Substantive discussion of this is much better than cringey sarcasm and incessant meme-ing.
