Avalanche of New HC Polls (8/20)

Today we've seen the release of several polls, each of which is either devoted to health care or contains substantial coverage in that area:

Survey USA (previously publicized by Jed Lewison at Daily Kos)

Economist/YouGov

Kaiser Family Foundation

That should give us a lot to chew on in the coming days!

R2K Polling Controversy

On June 29, 2010, the website Daily Kos announced that polls it had commissioned from the firm Research 2000 were "likely bunk." Kos has asked readers to disregard all R2K polls done for his site. Any Kos/R2K polls cited here on the Health Care Polls blog over the past several months should accordingly be disregarded, as well. I am leaving them up, however, as part of the historical record. Often, my analyses of polling trends that included R2K surveys also included polls from other firms, too. I hope the pending lawsuits between Kos and R2K will reveal whether the latter's polls are completely valid, completely made-up, or perhaps, as Nate Silver suggested, the product of data being merely "mangled."
