Topic: Quinnipiac Polls

	Opinion poll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first known example of an opinion poll was a local straw vote conducted by The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian in 1824, showing Andrew Jackson leading John Quincy Adams by 335 votes to 169 in the contest for the United States Presidency.
		All polls based on samples are subject to sampling error which reflects the effects of chance in the sampling process.
		Despite the polling organisations using different methodologies virtually all the polls in the lead up to the vote (and exit polls taken on voting day) showed a lead for the opposition Labour party but the actual vote gave a clear victory to the ruling Conservative party.

		He also noted that, in the Quinnipiac polls, respondents are fairly evenly divided about whether the Iraq War was the right thing to do, with a slightly larger number saying it was not.
		Schwartz noted that Quinnipiac's polls are paid for by the university, which gives the results out for free as a public service.
		Quinnipiac University polls were started in 1988 by a professor who wanted his students to have a understanding of how polls work.

	Poll: Giuliani Leads Mrs. Clinton
		The latest poll from the Quinnipiac College Polling Institute had the Republican New York City mayor favored by 48 percent of registered voters, with the Democratic first lady backed by 41 percent.
		A poll released by Quinnipiac on Feb. 6, the day Clinton formally entered the race, had Giuliani favored by 45 percent of New York voters to 42 percent for the first lady, a statistical tie given that poll's margin of error of 3 percentage points.
		Quinnipiac's polls over the past six months have shown the race extremely close, and often the gap between the two has been within those polls' margins of error.

		Schwartz, the director of the poll, recently sat down with the Journal and explained what he does, how he does it and why it is important.
		Polls are judged by their margin of error, the plus or minus number that appears after the results.
		Despite criticisms, Carroll said the presence of polling on the political scene is unlikely to fade anytime soon.

	AEI - Short Publications
		A September 2004 poll from AP/Ipsos found that 20 percent wanted the next nominee to the court to have political views that are very conservative, 36 percent wanted a nominee who was somewhat conservative, 28 percent wanted someone who was somewhat liberal, and 9 percent desired a justice who was very liberal.
		The Quinnipiac poll, which had a different emphasis, found that 39 percent said the court should only consider the original intentions of the authors of the document, while 54 percent said the court should consider changing times and current realities in applying the principles of the Constitution.
		In a late June-early July 2003 poll by Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, 15 percent of respondents said it was acceptable for a Senator to base his or her vote on the nominee solely on the nominee's position on abortion.

	A Ned Lamont Landslide?
		Lieberman's job approval rating in the latest Quinnipiac poll conducted July 13-18, 2006 stands at 55%, down from 73% in January 2005 (-25%); down from 62% in January 2006 (-11%); and down 31% from his 80% approval rating in September 2000 when he last ran for the Senate.
		According to the July 2006 Quinnipiac poll 24% of respondents who had intended to vote for Lieberman, informed of his strong support for the Iraq war, indicated that they disagreed with his position on the war.
		Those polls mean little given the likely growth of Lamont's name-recognition between now and November, and a decisive primary victory by Lamont and the accompanying publicity such a victory would bring would also likely have a major impact on the subsequent polls and on the fall election.

	Valley Advocate: Still Undecided? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It is my contention that polls are the first step in propagating or sustaining comforting myths (Republicans are paragons of "family values" and "Christian love"; Democrats are "tax-and-spend liberals who ejaculate on interns' dresses").
		Polls purport to reveal "truths" that are really lies, then get people to go along by playing on the human impulse to stick with "winners" and view the political world in fl and white rather than the shades of gray by which they view the rest of their lives.
		If polls offer any kinder, gentler truths about American politics, it may be this: The key to change in America is to locate this chronically undecided segment and reach them with a consistent, compelling message that has long-term credibility.

		He gathered 155 final polls spanning the period from the 1970s to 1988 (though most came from 1986 and 1988) and found that for 82% of the polls, the majority of the undecided broke to the challenger.
		Each poll has a margin of error of a little over +/- 3 (+/- 3.3% on the first poll and +/- 3.5% on the second), but remember, that applies to each individual candidate estimate not to the margin or the difference between polls.
		While the Quinnipiac poll release does not tell us the precise liberal percentage of their sample, their cross-tabulations imply that it is somewhere in the mid 40s, probably about 44%.

	SantorumBlog » Polling
		The opinions on the recent Strategic Vision polling isn’t nearly as voluminous as the previous Quinnipiac Poll was.
		The poll results come as a huge relief for Santorum, as there was already some talk among Washington fundraisers of money migrating away from this race because Santorum had failed to show he was closing the gap over the summer.
		The Muhlenberg and Quinnipiac surveys are not completely comparable, since the former did not include the Green candidate, but taken together, they show a race that has shifted in the Republican’s direction after weeks in which he had significantly outspent his challenger on the state’s airwaves.

	By The Numbers
		Five polls were released during the past week with the “spread” ranging from a low of Bush -4% (WP) to Bush +7% (QU).
		If the Quinnipiac polls are to be trusted, one has to accept that Bush’s approval rating shifted +6% and disapprove shifted -2% in less than two months.
		With three polls showing Bush’s spread moving downward by -1 or -2% and Quinnipiac showing Bush’s spread +6%, the evidence is that the Quinnipiac polls are overstating Bush’s approval ratings.

	Poll: Casey up 11 points over Santorum - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		The 11-point spread was four points closer than it was in mid-February and as close as the race has been in five Quinnipiac polls taken since last July.
		Casey and Santorum both hold anti-abortion views, but the poll indicated 69 percent of voters were unaware of Casey's stance and 8 percent erroneously described him as favoring abortion rights.
		The poll's sampling margin of error was plus or minus 2.7 percentage points; among Democrats, the margin was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

		Quinnipiac also found that nearly two-thirds of those surveyed could still end up changing their minds, suggesting that none of the candidates in the race have managed to ignite much interest among the voters.
		Earlier Quinnipiac polls have shown GOP frontrunner Bloomberg losing to all of the major Democrats in the field, even if the candidates does have plenty of campaign funds at his disposal.

		The latest polls from Quinnipiac find New York voters support the idea of having Mayor Rudolph Giuliani run for Governor next year - although sitting Governor George Pataki doesn't seem to have much to worry about at this point, with new polls showing him ahead of his likely Democratic rivals by upwards of thirty points.
		The same poll also finds a small majority of voters support adding airport security workers to the federal payroll, despite ongoing efforts by House Republican leaders to defeat the proposal.
		The latest CBS/New York Times poll finds voters with mixed opinions about whether the anthrax terrorists will ever be caught, although the uncertainty doesn't seem to have had an impact on President Bush's approval ratings, which are down slightly to 87%.

	village voice > news > Statistics Still Do Lie by Wayne Barrett
		The latest numbers in the headlined new public poll by Quinnipiac are an optical illusion.
		But the reason Miller and Weiner appeared to gain two and five points respectively between Quinnipiac's July and August polls is that the poll changed, not their popularity.
		This close to the primary, it makes sense for Quinnipiac to survey the leanings of likely voters, but with no comparative baseline from prior polls, both Quinnipiac and the media should have gone out of their way to make clear that the results don't signal candidate trends since July.

	Abortion Poll Recycled Disproven Roe v. Wade Question
		However, like the AP poll conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs, the Quinnipiac poll first wrongly told respondents that the Roe decision legalized abortion only in the first three months.
		The AP poll showed two-thirds of those who answered the flawed question said they didn't want President Bush to appoint pro-life judges, while just 50 percent of those answering the biased Quinnipiac poll said they didn't want judges who favor overturning Roe.
		A Wirthlin Worldwide poll commissioned just after the presidential elections, found 55 percent said they took a pro-life position and only 40 percent took one of three positions in favor of legal abortions.

		Second, the date the poll was taken, January 28-29, was the run-up to the Democratic South Carolina Primary.
		The poll underscores both Kerry's momentum after his wins in New Hampshire and Iowa, and increased favorability among Democrats in general as they dominate political news with their primaries and steady criticism of Bush.
		Most poll respondents know little about Kerry other than the positive news coverage he has received in the last two weeks, that he's winning, and maybe that he's a Vietnam veteran.
