As in Nevada polls, South Carolina polls, Super Tuesday state polls, national polls, etc. The last few days have been barren.

Opinion Savvy is releasing a South Carolina poll tomorrow morning.  PPP will poll SC as well, but not until after the GOP debate, so it'll probably be almost a week before it comes out.  I'm sure there are others in the works by other pollsters, but I don't know which ones.

It's weird we didn't have any polls from SC or NV before NH. They've ignored it for almost a month.

If there's one upside here, it's that Donald Trump has less to talk about Tongue

Seriously, these are critical contests. Polls would be greatly appreciated.

How much is it?  We could raise the $ on Kickstarter.

Or maybe there's a rich around here who will pay for it.  Torie maybe?  Tongue

I wonder if they'd be open to push polling for Jim Gilmore...

Relax.  Of what use is a South Carolina or Nevada poll taken before the New Hampshire primary?  That primary was two days ago.  Most reputable pollsters spend at least two days in the field and need time to calculate the results.  So the earliest possible date for a reputable poll to be released is tomorrow.  Plus, some pollsters may be waiting until after the debates to start polling, on the theory that a pre-debate poll isn't as meaningful as a post-debate poll.  They might not start polling the Republican side until Sunday, which means their polls will be released next Tuesday or so.

Prediction: We'll see a lot of polls next week.  We also might see a Las Vegas Review-Journal Nevada poll in time for the Sunday edition of the newspaper.  And I wouldn't be surprised if CBS News is currently working on a South Carolina poll to be released tomorrow in anticipation of the debate.

I'm guessing we'll see some SC polls soon, but I wouldn't count on there being too many NV polls. Nevada is notoriously tough to poll, and the fact that it's a caucus makes it even worse. There's a decent chance Nevada polls wouldn't be that accurate anyway.

They might be wildly inaccurate, yet important nonetheless for the expectations game.

I think Mason Dixon does the polls for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and they said they have no plans to poll in Nevada before the caucus. The only Nevada polls that I know of for sure will be from Gravis and Overtime.

Nevada polls in 2008 were not too bad:

I think the Zogby poll was just dumb luck for that firm.  There's no way they nailed it due to sound methodology.

In the polling for the pre-Super Tuesday primary contests for both parties in 2008, Zogby actually did about as well as any other pollster out there.  The speculation was that he was just good at guessing though, rather than actually giving us legit polls.

If Hillary pays for some, that would have some truth to it, since her campaign is hosting a fundraiser in Mexico. Kind of odd. They're all supposed to be US citizens.

Why would I want a poll of the numbers for this pathetic gaggle of candidates for both parties? They're losers - all of them.

Yes, this is one heck of a weak election for both sides. I agree 100%.
