| ABOUT THE QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLLING INSTITUTE (From the Quinnipiac website) "Frequently cited by journalists, public officials and researchers, the independent Quinnipiac University Poll regularly surveys residents in Connecticut, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and nationwide about political races, state and national elections and issues of public concern Methodology Interviewing for the Quinnipiac University Poll is conducted from the facilities of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. Professionally trained students and non-students conduct the interviews using a CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing system). For a typical public opinion survey a randomly-selected sample of about 1,000 adults aged 18 and over are interviewed over a 5-6 day period. For a sample of 1,000 adults, the sampling error is 3.1 percentage points at the 95 percent level of confidence. This means that 95 percent of the time, the results obtained should be no more than 3.1 percentage points above or below the figure that would be obtained by interviewing the entire population. Mission Statement The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute conducts timely and accurate public opinion polls on politics and public policy in Connecticut, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and nationally as a public service and for academic research." |
| ABOUT RASMUSSEN REPORTS (From the Rasmussen Reports website) "Rasmussen Reports is an electronic media company specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information. As a media company, we make our money by selling advertising, title sponsorships, subscriptions, and content. One thing we don’t sell is polls. Because we value our independence and credibility, Rasmussen Reports cannot be hired to conduct a poll for anyone. For our reports, we decide the questions to ask based upon the needs and interests of our audience. If it’s in the news, it’s in our polls. One thing we’re very proud of during the political season is our bi-partisan audience. Rasmussen Reports is one of the few political sites to attract roughly equal numbers of Republicans, Democrats, and unaffiliated voters. Rasmussen Reports’ campaign coverage has been praised for its independence, accuracy and reliability." |
