“The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts gold standard surveys using random digit dialing with live interviewers calling landlines and cell phones.
“ The Quinnipiac University Poll conducts nationwide surveys and polls in more than a dozen states on national and statewide elections, as well as public policy issues.“
From the article they conduct surveys in more than a dozen states. I wonder which ones they chose beside CA and NY.
If california and new york are among the dozen states then it is a biased poll. Kick out the two states the democrats can count on. If the democrats lose those two states they will lose no matter what and winning those two states is nor enough to guaranty a democrat-socialist victory.
Gold standard? Here are their predictions for Nov 2016.
