  • McCain/Obama/Clinton Matchups Use Inaccurate Samples.

    Election polling is all about how you see the pie. Getting a poll right is determined by how you slice what you see. Figuring out American voters this November can be done well in advance, even now, if you see the pie and slice it wisely. LET'S DO IT.

  • Gaming the Polls, Spinning the Spin

    I’m confused. New polls today say that Obama is gaining on Clinton in Pennsylvania, even after the Wright controversy and in spite of news stories that he’s not reaching blue collar workers there.

  • It's John Edwards, Stupid!

    John Dickerson wonders how Obama has successfully gone negative against Hillary Clinton without tarnishing the audacity of hope. It's simple. He's talked about taking-on Hillary without really doing so. The heavy-lifting has been left to Edwards, who has been the only one at the debates -- especially in Las Vegas -- to aggressively ...
