The Polling Paradox: How to Read the Numbers

Do you believe, as the ABC News/Washington Post poll showed this week, that Hillary Clinton is beating Jeb Bush nationally by a margin of 10 percentage points (51 percent to 41 percent)?

Do you believe, as the Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday on a set of battleground states showed, that Bush as well as Marco Rubio and Scott Walker are besting Clinton by 5 percentage points in Colorado, 6 percentage points in Iowa, and 3 percentage points in Virginia?

Both can’t be true. CONT.
