Need help ranking Poll Companies.

[The Backlash Cometh]

As the primary nears, we're going to have plenty of people throwing poll numbers at us to support their candidate. As we all know on DU, different poll companies use different methodologies and not always in an objective manner. So, to stay consistent, for those who have information on the credibility of poll companies, please respond to this thread:

Thanks to everyone in advance!

1. The only ones I find at all accurate

after watching them for the past several years are Harris and AP/Ipsos/Reid. Gallup weights too heavily toward Repugs (meaning the make sure a set percentage of their respondents identify as GOP, higher than in real life) and Zogby weights slightly in favor of Democrats.

It sounds like you've summed up DU wisdom well. But I welcome everyone else's observations.
