Quinnipiac is a small University in the town of Hamden Connecticut. They have been doing polls for decades. And for anyone who hasn't noticed, they have been the most accurate political polls in America.
And it's not a one-time thing. They have been consistently right for decades.
I have no idea how they do it. But I do know that anytime I want to check a politically related poll, I check Quinnipiac and the results prove them closer to reality than any other poll out there.
It seems that their polls have no biases, preferences, agendas, motives, or anything else that can skew results.
Assuming you want to check in on reality once in a while, check out Quinnipiac polls on political topics. It seems to me that they consistantly measure the truth about the varying opinions in this country we call America.

No one has a crystal ball. But Quinnipiac sure as hell has something that has made them a reliable source of "taking the country's pulse" for many years.
