The Columbus Dispatch poll has a good reputation people. Doesn't mean it's always going to be right but...

I guess that as weird and old world its method may seem, well, it isn't as though those of conventional pollsters are particularly well suited to 2016 is it?

If Quinnipiac is rated an 'A' then whatever the rating system is it is trash. I mean they aren't bad for a uni pollster... in their own state... but...

Yes.  I think his ratings rely too much on methodology (which is obviously important... and Quinnipiac is live caller and calls cell phones, etc. so it makes sense that it would be rated higher than average) and not enough on actual accuracy (which is much more important).

It's hilarious: the man built his name on an injection of empiricism into public discourse about polling, only to retreat into a mannered and theory-driven safe space!
