Nailed what exactly? 2006 was a bunch of individual Senate and House races, so please be more specific. Also, please provide, if you can, which races the other polls had listed as "safe" for the Repubs. that Quinnip. correctly predicted as Dem wins.
Please note well, I'm specifically refering to your comment about a seat being called "safe" by the other pollsters, not some race where they may have had (for example) George Allen up, but well within the margin of error.
Thanks in advance for the info.
Since you have required a “Post Audit” on me in order to somehow validate my opinion, I based the info from my own memory in 2006 after the election.
Quinnipiac did an exit poll on voter turn out. They found that Republicans did NOT stay home and both Democrats and Republicans showed up in traditional numbers. It was Independent/swing voters who turned the tide in all critical elections were Republican incumbents were defeated.
Those are the facts as they stand. The data supporting it was presented then and there and I saw what I saw. If you have a problem with that, go back on their archives yourself. That still does not invalidate what I said.
While you do your research, look in the archives for “The Least Republican Generation” and the Quinnipiac exit polling results nation wide for 2006.
Thanks in advance for your own hard work and personal responsibility for other people’s opinions.
