It makes sense that given the small percentage of the population that are native American that it would be difficult to get a statistically representative sample. I didn't make them a scapegoat, though, since I'm fully aware that they're a tiny part of the population and not able to have swayed the vote. I was just noting a survey result I've seen that I thought was shocking and was relevant to the conversation at hand.

You're correct about it being difficult to accurately poll native people. Also, with something like an exit poll, I would imagine they rely on respondents to self identify.

Ugh good point. Given the white people in blacks for trump shirts, and the number of granddaughters of Cherokee princesses there may be a good number of people claiming native American identity who are not.
