I might add one word of caution to viewers: polls are make-news, not real news. They are often lazy journalism and given far more weight than is merited. A poll represents a snapshot in time that is framed by the parameters Ken outlined. Keep your salt shaker nearby.

Loved the article on polling --- reminded me that one of the best books I ever read was "How To Lie With Statistics"
They should teach that in schools. Just a few things like "look for the zero point on a chart" can really change perspectives.
I dont recall taking any online poll that translates into newsworthy poll ever
Polls always slanted to the Dems vs General voters etc
Numbers are rigged
