That doesn't mean that quality doesn't matter. We find that pollsters that participate in professional transparency/data-sharing initiatives continue to get considerably better results. The pollster ratings will continue to reflect this. https://t.co/gsp1olV914 — PolitiTweet.org

For another thing, it no longer really makes sense to classify entire *polling firms* by their methodology. Lots of polling firms mix-and-match methodologies, change them in midstream, etc. Methodology is a characteristic of a poll, not the pollster. — PolitiTweet.org

Something else worth mentioning—it's common sense but it shows up in the data—is that you should be mildly distrustful of pollsters without a track record. As a rule of thumb, it takes about 20 polls before you can have much confidence that what pollster does is working. https://t.co/xdRRsUEZOa — PolitiTweet.org
