Some questions about tracking polls.
I understand that they use the same pool of voters over and over and that the pool only changes when people drop out (disappear, I suppose.)
1 - Is there an arrangement so that ALL the people in the pool respond to each survey? Or do they just get responses from whatever subset of the pool happens to answer the phone?
2 - How often are surveys taken? I went to one of the tracking sites and it seemed like there might be one for every 5 working days and one for every weekend. Possible?
