Battleground Hits a Bull’s Eye
The George Washington University Battleground Poll, a highly regarded
bi-partisan survey, was the most accurate presidential tracking poll in
the nation; a near perfect match to the final popular vote as reported
by the Associated Press. The GW-Battleground Poll was the most accurate
for the third time in four presidential elections.
“The election is remarkable in that a number of pundit’s predictions
were realized, particularly the importance of battleground states such
as Ohio and Florida,” Christopher Arterton, dean of GW’s Graduate
School of Political Management (GSPM) and liaison for the GW-Battleground
2004 Poll said. “The GW-Battleground Poll applied the science of
polling and coupled it with the dynamic of bipartisanship to accurately
predict this election outcome. The University looks forward to continuing
sponsorship of this nationally recognized survey.”
The University sponsors the GW-Battleground Poll,
which is conducted by top polling firms Lake Snell Perry and Associates
and The Tarrance Group and guided by Arterton and GSPM. The poll surveyed
registered likely voters nationwide and yielded a margin of error of plus
or minus 3.1 percent.
