1. That poll is three weeks old

and it depended heavily on land line users. Don't panic. I doubt very much that it reflects what's really going on.

6. I think I also read that the poll did not ask about how likely it was the respondents would attend

their caucus.

Turnout will mean everything this year.

3. "Then again, there could be a reason for that."

"Then again, there could be a reason for that. The survey suffers from the same problem as a lot of modern opinion polling. Some 70 percent of its respondents were reached on a landline telephone, with the other percent contacted on a cell phone. That's out of proportion to the number of landline phones still out there, and skews the results toward an older audience. (About 44 percent of U.S. homes were landline-free by the end of 2014, including half of those occupied by people between the ages of 18 and 44.)"

5. Generally the senate districts decide where they'll hold their caucuses.

My district always uses one of the local high schools with a room assigned to each precinct.

We are assuming we will have a record turn out this year - similar to 2008 (we hope). On the other hand, we're in the 'burbs so it could turn out to be just the same old bunch of faithful caucus attenders we always see.

But we're trying to prepare for a crowd and many new people showing up.
