  • 1.  References on polling

    Posted 12-13-2016 11:38

    Can anyone recommend any textbooks or reference articles on the calculation/use of weights in polling?  I know this was in the news recently, but I am not interested in election related references--just about public opinion polls in general.  Both theoretical and application-based recommendations would be helpful.

    Thanks for your help in advance!
