Site Rating Various Polls

Post by JohnStOnge »

I found this site the day of the Wisconsin primary because I was looking for an indication of how a poll that had Donald Trump ahead by 10 percentage points compared to other polls used to calculate the Real Clear Politics average: http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives ... r-ratings/

I noted that one poll that had Trump ahead, by American Research Group, had the lowest grade, C-, among polls listed by Real Clear Politics.

Kind of interesting that the three polls rated "A+" are polls I never heard of and never see reported. Selzer & Company, Field Research Corporation, and Ciruli Associates. Of the ones I see reported on all the time the highest grade (A-) goes to CNN/Opinion Research Corp., ABC News/Washington Post, Monmouth University, and NBC News/Wall Street Journal.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
