I enjoyed your book! It provided a good overview of the history of polling which is something I did not know about. I first started to look at polls and election models because I wanted to see election predictions in a statistical manner. I remember fivethirtyeight in 2008 and that was my first real experience with polls. A few years afterwards, I started to look at issue polling and wondered why people wanted liberal policies but did not end up voting for Democrats/liberals. The book and your blog really brought the focus on polls and its relationship to democracy for me.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Elliot! If you by chance bought the book of Amazon, copy+pasting this comment there as a review would be an enormous help..
You go! When we get home will finish reading it. I claim bragging rights for knowing you when you still needed a copy editor. Dude!
