What is/are your background/credentials, in terms of statistcs, etc?

[Wolfstar]

None. I am a consumer of news and information who wants some means to evaluate ephemeral things like polls. However, one does not need a background in statistics to do the simple math required for this study. Either a result was within its poll's MOE or it was not as compared to the actual election results. Not rocket science. In fact, not science at all, but plain old-fashioned athritmatic and observation.
