Do we usually add internal polls to the database? Seems like it may skew things...

No

No

Damn! I like this poll.

[Sam Spade]

The DSCC MS poll was put in the database (though it shouldn't have been)

Guess I'm going to have to make a thread.

So, who enters these polls, and what are the criteria? I'm not sure I understand how two internal polls get entered, but Research 2000 for Daily Kos doesn't.

Basically, any member can enter a poll.  The criteria have never been stated on the site or on the poll function.  That's the reason why I'm thinking of adding the thread.

Another issue is that neither Joe or I have power to delete questionable polling entries, so there's basically nothing I can do about it after the fact.

You are free to enter the R2000 poll if you desire.  I just ask for the caveat.

I can't enter polls.  I think there's a special access level required.

Or maybe I'm just stupid and I can't figure out how to.

Yes, I tried and failed. Also, I tried and failed to enter predictions, which is no doubt a great loss to the site.

Believe me this is probably an accurate given the number of Democrats in this state who are unhappy with their party's nominee against McConnell.  They are still upset with Bruce Lunsford's  behavior from the 2003 governor's race.

Oh yea, I forgot about that.  You have to pay for the student/individual membership at the Atlas site (which is $15/$25 last time I checked)

I think you can get a free account and request upload access; you just don't get access to the fancy information.

Thanks.  I didn't know that.
