The Political Environment: UW/WPRI Polls Now Suspect

Friday, March 12, 2010

The brouhaha over politicized polling that muddied an earlier survey makes me dismiss this new one.

My first instinct is to trust Dr Goldstein, who is most likely using similar question wording to the universally accepted National Election Survey (NES). It's academic mantra -- but who knows.

Instead of criticizing the survey, I'd take the results at face value -- it's a dead heat -- stop making excuses and campaign like hell.

Barrett can't just sit back and rest on his nice guy laurels anymore. He's gotta raise way more $ if he's gonna win this.; March 12, 2010 at 5:51 PM
