  1. @alexhanna Panel great for measuring individual change, fresh cross section better for aggregate change.
  2. @alexhanna Good Q. Panel mortality is biggest. In CBS/NYT panel this week 66% recontact rate, which isn't bad but 1) smaller n 2)non-random
  3. @kevinbinversie Not that's not correct. Everything is released as usual 12:15-12:45. Evening will cover what was in release already.
  4. @kevinbinversie ?? Release is 12:15-12:45 Wed. Same as usual. All data on web at 12:45 There is a pm alumni event but release is 12:15.
  5. @folkbum @jakemillerwis We sample registered and now give both RV & LV results but no weighting by party-LV are those saying certain to vote
  6. @folkbum @JakeMillerWis So I welcome the analysis. Open discussion is good. Our results are in the open. I wish all polls were as well.
  7. @folkbum @JakeMillerWis 2010 exits are for that year. Will this one look the same? I don't know. More 2008? 2006?
  8. @folkbum @JakeMillerWis PID and libcon vary over election cycles so you don't know population values to use as targets
  9. @folkbum @JakeMillerWis We do weight by education and age where there is a well known nonresponse differential & census values are available
  10. @folkbum @JakeMillerWis We don't weight to a specific lib-con or party distribution. Just report what people in the random sample say.
  11. @folkbum @JakeMillerWis This is one reason we put up the crosstabs-anyone can do this kind of "what if" analysis-It promotes alternate views
  12. Thx! My fav RT @RealJackieO: PS218 with @PollsAndVotes. Best class I've taken by far. I told you to wait until he's back from marquette!
  13. @a_kowalsky @RealJackieO I'm scheduled to teach PS218 next spring. Hope to see you.
  14. @ConArtCritic Yes, in cross tabs, Q2 is LV for Nov.
  15. @ConArtCritic FYI-we've always posted the LV crosstab for those who want to look but research shows LV more volatile until close to election
  16. @ConArtCritic Live stream 12:15, web post at 1:15 CDT. We sample RV but also have LV results. BTW Nice county map.
  17. RT @POTUSShowdown: Showdown 2012 starts now! Guests in the first hour include @zengerle, @pollsandvotes, and @carrieNBCNews on channel 124!
  18. @brettkeller btw my 12 yr old says "You can suck the fun out of anything." Apparently. She did not care for the Kaplan-Meier plots or coding
  19. @brettkeller Nice work you did. I sent it to my Law&Stats class. We covered survival models 2 weeks ago. Now making my 12 yr old read it.
