While the pundits may want to reject online polling, it simply can’t be ignored that four of the most accurate polls in the 2012 presidential race were Internet polls. These polls are a good, real-time, measure of voter enthusiasm, and Trump clearly has momentum on his side.”As a digital politics expert, David Bozell is available to analyze the online response to the first Presidential debate.
