42% southern, so of those 846:
372 female
474 male
175 > 60
155 > white male over 60 (89% of respondents were white)
so only about 8% of the overall population polled were Southern White Males over 60.

Assuming they all voted the same on every question, that still leaves a large number of Republicans from other geographies that agreed with them.

Feel free to check my math…I was, after all, an English major in college.

If the pollsters are honest pros, they built the sample to reflect the Republican universe pretty accurately.
