Nice work guys, poll every state BUT Nevada which is next.

I'm not sure why you'd expect Florida Southern College to poll Nevada.  That wouldn't make sense.  Maybe UNLV or the University of Nevada at Reno should run their own polls.  But they usually don't, and Nevada doesn't have unique in-state for-profit pollsters like Michigan, so you don't get Nevada polls.

I'm sure theFlorida Southern College would poll Nevada over Florida.
Is Quinnipiac in Iowa? Is Monmouth in New Hampshire?

Quinnipiac and Monmouth have a reputation for polling outside of their home states.  Florida Southern College does not.

UNLV has a polling institute, but so far they haven't polled Nevada (or at least haven't polled much).  Unlike Iowa and New Hampshire, there are few active college pollsters in Nevada and it doesn't have the crappy private pollsters that Michigan has to fill the void.

You didn't explain why this FL cannot do what Quinnipiac and Monmouth do. You invented the "reputation" answer, but your original post had nothing to do with "reputation".

IIRC, Monmouth sometimes gets paid by outside organizations to poll for them.  Marist College in New York does, too.  Quinnipiac might, too, but Quinnipiac has always polled outside of Connecticut, regardless.  There are only so many races Quinnipiac can poll in an uncompetitive state like Connecticut to get their name ID up.  Florida Southern College is neither famous in polling nor prolific.
