If you're asking "How do I know that the campaigns do independent polling that is better than the mass media polls" the answer is easy... I used to work in politics as a congressional aid and this is no secret to those who work in or around campaigns."
This is interesting to me. Sorry to press, but I, too, have an inquring mind. ;-) Could you amplify on exactly HOW the campaign polls are better? Bigger samples?
Also, is it public knowledge who is doing this polling for the two parties?
Thanks in advance for the education!
I think you hit the nail on the head... bigger samples... Its hard to pinpoint what a country of 280 million is going to do by calling 1000 or less.
I don't know who is in charge of the polling, but It would probably be easy to find out... Call the RNC
