My impression with SUSA is that though most of their polling has been on-target (and they have a nice pollster score), they've also had a few glaring consistent discrepancies (ex: their Minnesota polling in 2008 showed the presidential race tied all the way through up until the end), and some far misses (finding Bobby Bright 15+ points down in 2008), perhaps since they don't use any weighting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
