I just got a phone poll from Rasmussen; don't know if it is a daily tracking poll. It was entirely automated, pushing buttons for answers. Of course, I answered the questions favorably for Obama/Biden and unfavorably for McCain/Palin. Also addressed was the US Senate race in Colorado, in which I support Mark Udall.

1. Thanks for helping us out |
|
Everyone here should answer a poll when they are called. Poll results drive news coverage (sadly).

6. Are most polls automated like that? Because if so, it really helps with the Bradley Effect |
|
If the survey is automated then people are more likely to vote what they really feel. It simulates the privacy of the voting booth.

Even though robopolls are newer and not universally accepted yet, I tend to trust them more for Obama/McCain polling for that reason. SUSA polls are also automated and they tended to be pretty accurate in the primaries, and where they were inaccurate they usually understated Obama's support.

7. It's probably a CO poll. When it shows an Obama lead, I'll thank you! |
