UMass Lowell's Daily NH presidential poll. Please read

So, I'm going to tip a little bit more of my hand as to my real life. Josh Dyck, who runs the Center of Public Opinion at UMass Lowell, is a good personal friend of mine.

Anyway, this year, he is undertaking am ambitious polling strategy by conducting live interviews every day between January 29 and the NH Primary. Results will be reported nightly beginning February 1st. It will be very interesting to see how well his group can pull this off.

From their site:


The first round of daily results of the tracking poll by UMass Lowell’s Center for Public Opinion in partnership with 7NEWS will be released Monday morning.

The independent, nonpartisan UMass Lowell/7NEWS poll will be conducted via cellular and landline telephone nightly by live interviewers from Jan. 29 through Feb. 7 with results released each day from Feb. 1 through Feb. 8.

Results will consist of responses from 1,400 New Hampshire registered voters gathered over the previous three days and will include data from a subset of likely Democratic and Republican primary voters.

...

The results of the poll will be released live on 7NEWS “Today in New England” at 6:45 a.m. each weekday morning from Monday, Feb. 1 through Monday, Feb. 8. The results will also be released by UMass Lowell via e-mail at 7 a.m. every day of the poll and full results – including all data and details on methodology.

----------

Obviously, this is a plug for a friend, even though he doesn't know I'm doing it, but, I'd appreciate it if supporters of all stripes pay attention to his group's results. I hope I haven't used up all my goodwill with Bernie supporters on this site yet, so, if I have a smidge left, it would be to ask you guys to pay attention to the following site:

2. I think it's pretty apparent that Bernie will win NH

he has a large lead in every poll that I don't think a HRC victory in Iowa will radically change, plus he's well known from being a Senator from a neighboring state. On the other hand if HRC somehow won NH or it was much closer than the polls currently show that would not be good news for Bernie.

3. Oh, I agree. I'm more interested to see if daily live interviews and reporting on them can work

Can't believe how quickly the UML polls are becoming big news.

No issue here of using up goodwill as far as I can see. Nothing wrong with supporting different candidates.
