Looks like one the the Buzzfeed folks RT’ed it:

The way I read that it’s not that they didn’t poll anybody else, they simply couldn’t get enough people to take part in both polls to get a margin of error of error on any subgroup other than Southern whites over 50. If you look at the totals vs. the subgroup, where reported, there simply had to be others in the poll, however not enough to generate a margin of error for those subgroups. Being unable to generate a margin of error for those subgroups meant they dropped them entirely from the percentage reporting.

This is where it gets ugly though. With the study population being generously limited to likely voters, not being able to generate a margin of error for non-whites means there had to be 4 or less in the entire poll. Same with liberals, same with non Southerners, same for people under 50 years of age, same for those who never attended college.

Anyway, CNN should be a goddamned laughingstock for putting this out at all. It’s a complete hack job that any self respecting news org would never have let see the light of day.
