None of the polls we're hearing about

likely include the newest voters and definitely don't include recently registered voters.
Here is some polling data on the youth vote. It doesn't look good for Trump. I think there will be some surprises in store for the GOP.

Because a poll that you DO like says something different?

nb: every poll includes cross tabs by age if you want to get into the weeds.

it's not that they couldn't declare their age. It's that they're not getting polled.

There seems to be a contingent of people who don't work in polling who are convinced that it's not possible to conduct accurate polling. If that was the case, candidates wouldn't be paying for polls.
