Results, methods & sources → How we handle polling
- Show the source, sponsor, field dates and available methods. Missing information stays identified as missing.
- Keep party-preference, named-candidate and issue questions separate. Do not average incompatible populations or methods.
- Label historical matchups and voluntary surveys. A single survey is not a forecast.
- Publish trends only when enough comparable surveys are available. Link the original questionnaire and crosstabs when available.
