A couple of weeks ago, I raised questions about presidential polling in general and the Quinnipiac University’s polling in particular. Should you rely on polls or not? I was chastised by a University of Wisconsin political science prof for raising questions about Quinnipiac’s polling. Not since I questioned papal infallibility in sixth grade have I been dispatched to the corner so vigorously. I was even told to apologize to Quinnipiac.
I have no beef against Quinnipiac and I wish them well. But I wish them and all the other pollsters more transparency in polling.
