No soft political analysis from ex-campaign staffers. No predictions. No unskewing the polls. Cross Tabs is a show to help you understand how political polls are designed and conducted so you can make your own judgments about which polls to pay attention to, how to compare them to other polls, and simply, how to understand what a poll is actually telling you … especially in what is sure to be a strange election season. Hosted by strategist and (qualitative) researcher Farrah Bostic with regular contributions from her more quantie friends, this show will walk through polling methodologies and results, and provide a researcher's context for at least one publicly available poll each week. No need to be a statistician or pollster - we’ll explain everything as we go along.
