Polls should also publish raw data

[TheCoxwain]

Forcing the pollsters to publish raw data along with their 'interpretaion' will lead to a more open view of what is going on --- This will let us draw our own conclusions .. I have a PhD in Engineering and I dont need some Schmuck to analyze data for me.

What do you guys think?

2. At least the margin of error.

But I'd like to see to sampling size and the demographics of those polled, the exact phrasing of the questions asked, and the time frame of the poll.

3. Most Polls Publish The MOE And Sample Size

And the credible polls include the demographics and exact phrasing of the questions...

4. The polls may publish that, but it is never seen on the 6:00 news.

All the general public sees is "X is up by 2 points over Y".
