Checking the accuracy of Quinnipiac...... They're Good!
Edited on Wed Oct-01-08 06:58 AM by aaaaaa5a

Quinnipiac is one of the better pollsters when it comes to accuracy according to 538.


By the way, on of the top ranked pollster (Selzer) is also one of the few pollsters that has Obama up in Indiana!

2. Selzer does the Des Moines Register polls. She did the one right before
the caucus that freaked out all the pollsters and pundits because it had Obama so far ahead and included people who didn't normally caucus but did show up this year. Everyone questioned her but her response was - we called people and these are the people who said they were going to caucus and who they would caucus for that night. A lot of the other pollsters still go by the old demographics but this year has been different. She is one of the few that has recognized and picked up on that fact ahead of time.
