What I am saying is that neither do you or anyone else - They weight the polls to even out what is not even. That is my point.

I didn't take polling 101 - I don't recall it being offered where I got my degrees. Sounds like an interesting course though.
What I do remember about polling from college is how extremely difficult it is to get accurate information and how skewed the data therefore can be. They attempt to weigh/modify/alter the data to make it credible and make a prediction. Sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong.
