45. Alot of It Is Art

Polling is an art and science...

With the proliferation of fax machines, cell phones, call blockers, and answering machines you might have to make one hundred calls to get one valid response.

Pollsters match their response to the general population, i.e. you need the correct percentages of Dems, Reps, whites, blacks, jews, hispanics, etcetera... If you don't do this your poll will be badly skewed...

If you are interested in learning more about polling, e-mail or call any of the polling organizations and am sure they will help you...
