Buyer Beware: Very few non-partisan independent groups conduct polling on individual House races. Much polling is commissioned by campaign committees, PACs or the national party. Results of such polls are released to the public only if they are believed to increase a candidate’s chances of victory. While results of partisan polls should not be discounted, results of polls conducted by independent firms should be considered less biased.
