IA PrimD: Iowa State University: Clinton up 2 in IA according to ISU

[bigedlb]

Poll was in the field from Jan. 5-22, so any recent momentum from any of the candidates is going to be washed out by the fact that it's being averaged with responses from early/mid-January.

. Yeah.  Too long a period,  but Cruz supporters will tout this..The midpoint of the survey is about 1/13.

This basically means that this poll is junk. You can't stay in the field that long and get a scientific result.

It might not produce a data point that you're interested in, but it's still a scientific result, (or at least can be if done properly). It would represent the average support for each candidate over the time period in question.

this poll is fine if you put a data point at the midpoint of the survey period as I do a graph.
