Never heard of this pollster, but I'll believe Maine being even remotely close when I see it.
Wait, whaaat?

You've never heard about SurveyUSA, a top-five pollster according to 538? Huh

It doesn't matter who conducts it, but who designs it.
Ehm...







Oh, and this poll was conducted before "Deplorables"/pneumonia...

I don't think, that it works that way...

The methodology can be designed by entity A, yet the project could be conducted by entity B. The quality of the results are primarily restricted by entity A's methodology more than entity B's field practices.

OK. As I said, I don't think, that it works that way. They can probably influence how questions are formulated or which model to use: 2-way/2-way, RV/LV etc. But even then, I think, that political part of the poll is done solely by USASurvey.

The same logic was used against the PPP polls conducted in a number of states when they were hired by the local Democratic party.

The criticism was mainly about that the client chooses whether publish the pol or notl. But I doubt that Boston Globe would do it.

Never trust a college pollster (other than Monmouth or Marist).
If you went to the college, you could figure out, it is a poll conducted by SurveyUSA Smiley
