Morning Status Update for Thursday 10/23

—

I am not familiar with political polling, but I have spent my career conducting survey research for businesses. I heard a plausible explanation for why the presidential polls vary wildly or overstate Obama support. To estimate the election, each poll is required to gather enough responses from ...
