A mail in survey? Yeah at least add an asterisk on it.

Why ? It's how the absentee balloting works too. And the Dispatch poll has been good most of the time.

Who is crazy enough to pay a stamp to answer a poll?

Did they at least made the reply postage paid? That might have been a good polling method in the 1800s, LOL.

If it worked in the 1800s, why shouldn't it work today ... ?

Wink

(This might actually be a cheaper method of polling, than placing 40.000 calls to people for a sample of 2.000 - who could not even be at home - but if you mail them, there's a good chance they will return the form at some point).

Serious?

FiveThirtyEight considers them to be worse than Zogby/ARG.

Based on what? Other than '06, when they were way too D-friendly, they've done pretty good:
