presidential polls
Keeping tabs on presidential poll results (for those of us who just can't help ourselves)
Are you like me today, sitting on the edge of my seat, fingers and eyes poised to pounce on any and all information about the presidential and other elections? Well, those of us going crazy with anticipation about who’s going to win what just about everyone agrees is the most important election in many years and perhaps of our lives … will have to keep on going crazy.
We won’t know any real information about whether Barack Obama or John McCain is winning until this evening, EVEN if we start seeing poll results (or supposed poll results) this afternoon.
The hard lessons of the last two presidential elections have resulted in major changes to the way poll results are tracked and kept under wraps. For clear information about all things poll-related on this urgent Election Day go to www.pollster.com, the co-creation of Charles Franklin, who’s also behind the blog PoliticalArithmetik (http://politicalarithmetik.blogspot.com) (“Where numbers and politics meet”) and a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
