New Podesta Email Exposes Dem Playbook For Rigging Polls Through "Oversamples"

Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 36-27-31 percent, Democrats - Republicans - Independents."

Democrats were +7 in 2012.  It is not unreasonable to assume that there are an additional +2 for Democrats this year.
