Like I said in the other thread, why in the world would they poll on New Year's Eve, when the results are sure to be worthless?  What's the point?

I think in 2008, there was one pollster who did a poll that combined interviews from Dec. 30 and Jan. 1, but specifically skipped Dec. 31, because polling on Dec. 31 is worthless.  Typically, only outfits like ARG and Zogby poll on Dec. 31.

OTOH, in this poll, it looks like they got nearly identical results on both nights, so maybe it's OK.

Is there really that much overlap between the caucusgoer demos and the go-out-on-New-Years-Eve demos? Am I stereotyping unfairly to think most Iowa conservatives are parents by the time they're 19?

You don't think 50-somethings ever go to New Year's parties?
