Okay, this is pretty damn cool. Though as something of a pollwatcher myself, I feel compelled to note that the Gallup and Time/Newsweek polls these days are REALLY, REALLY bad in terms of accuracy. I highly recommend Zogby and Rasmussen's polls instead, both for battleground states and nationally. They're much more accurate.

Well, to be fair, we won't know the "accuracy" of poll results until after the election. ;)

Oh, and this isn't directed at anyone in particular, but remember to keep the talk about the program, and not the merits of the candidates - that discussion could get nasty pretty quickly.

Even then we can't guarantee the accuracy!* :twisted:

This looks pretty cool. Thanks for pricing it at a decent level, too. $2.99 is a good spot for something like this. Just might go ahead and get it. :) I'd be interested to watch the progress during the election!


*this is "pushing it" on your warning, but I took out the part about "Just ask Al Gore!" :wink:

Well, let me put it this way :D : on October 29th 2000, Gallup placed Bush ahead by 13 points in the state of Florida. We all know how THAT turned out... 8O

Really, though, in this kind of situation you define 'accurate' by whether the polls match up to other polls. Gallup and Time almost never do, while Zogby and Rasmussen tally with polls by Pew, Harris, Investor's Business Daily, Democracy Corps, and others.

Also, as a side note, Rasmussen supplied the core data for some of the Time poll right after the RNC, and afterward he came out and said that the interpretation they had placed on the data was all wrong.
