They made 24,830 calls, and 491 people spoke to them. The sample size is small, as the margin of sampling error on the overall lead is nine points, roughly twice as large as the margin for a single. candidate’s vote share. One reason we’re doing these surveys live is so you can see the uncertainty for yourself. Although they phoned in residents across the district, they did not fully grasp a dull diversity of the people and relied on polls from different scenarios to estimate the true voter turnout. The source, again was very credible and didn't seem to be biased to any way, just based pure of statics and analytics

Shifting- There's a number of Latino voters there. There's a big chunk of Asian-American voters there and there's a number of immigrants who have lived there. So I think that that kind of complicates what used to be a pretty solidly Republican area.

Talking about the personalities instead of issues and being unwilling to put the work into the country first. 
Unlike Rouda, Dana actually gains support from Trump, not just as a republican, but as a controversial ideologist who shares similar views on polices like immigration, the Affordable Care Act  and Russia. We favors trump a great deal and was even mentioned as himself and Trump being Putin's favorite politician ]]> 2018-11-05 06:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mendozaa5/Califnora1_2018/wish/300324114 mendozaa5 https://padlet.com/mendozaa5/Califnora1_2018/wish/300324146 Rouda wants to open Medicare-for-all. I want to open up a public option. It’s a buy-in. It’s just an option. Second: Reinstate the individual mandate. Third: Take off the shackles to allow Medicare to negotiate pharma prices. Housing affordability. Infrastructure. Quality jobs. And homelessness and sober homes. In this district, you have extremely affluent individuals on the coast. But we have pockets of poverty going east — and a serious homeless issue. And overpopulation: housing two or three families in single apartments or single-family homes. Not a supporter of Open borders
Dana- has focused a bulk of his campaign on immigration, as a recent spike in the district the last couple of years of latinos has caused so uneasiness to some individuals. He is pro life, proper taxation for all not just the wealthy, and doesn't favor strong gun restrictions. He voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but voted against the tax reform bill.]]> 2018-11-05 06:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mendozaa5/Califnora1_2018/wish/300324146 mendozaa5 https://padlet.com/mendozaa5/Califnora1_2018/wish/300324223 we looked at polls and articles like https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/charlie-rouda-california-751280/
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/charlie-rouda-california-751280/
who not only pointed out that people were still leaning toward Dana, but that people were actually starting to dislike rouda, due to him personally attacking Dana on advertisements. Although California has been primarily democratic for some time, this district has also been Republican for over two decades. Especially with the rise of immigration the last couple of years, that sits uncomfortably with most wealthy, white Republicans. Dana has also been favorable and liked from the course of his time, and the democratic movement for Rouda i feel just came a bit to short
Weakness- I said that although most of the residents of the district are white and mostly republican, there has also been an initiative on the democratic side that there might actually be a change especially since Dana's recent remarks on Russia and the environment
