I understand your argument, but I want to voice an alternative view.

Trump is now leading the polls in Iowa. Doesn’t the bad weather impact him more? Does that help Cruz?

I want a daily consensus because I would run one or two Caucuses, and we’d be to February 2nd already.

I want almost a couple of weeks worth of days look before that.

I understand and agree. BTW, I've been voting Trump, so it wasn't that I was hinting at bias toward Trump or anyone for that matter. No, I am just worried that any external event might impact anyone at all.

Impact on participation from something like a winter blizzard is indeterminate anyway. People in New Hampshire and Vermont laugh at storms that typically shutdown the beltway and below! But then again, as long as the area still has electrical power, a storm might even increase participation. Indeterminate for sure.

No, I'm just pointing out that at small sample sizes, *any* event has some impact and even "no event" ( normal work week, school exams, medical appointments ) has different impact between depending on day of the week and between given granularities ( daily, weekly, etc ). That's all.

God bless you for mustering the required time and energy to manage this. I appreciate anybody who has the ability to focus on something and follow through on commitments.
