Work and activities
Polling
Suffolk conducts live telephone interviews with samples that feature both cell phones and standard landlines. In both national and statewide polls, the respondents are grouped into a number of general regions. Suffolk uses a probability-proportionate-to-size method, which was described in their methodology as meaning "phone numbers assigned to each county were proportional to the number of likely voters expected based on similar past elections."[2][3]
2020
FiveThirtyEight ranked Suffolk the third-best pollster during the 2020 presidential primaries based on the average error of polls in the final 21 days of the election.[4] According to an analysis of 88 polls, FiveThirtyEight gave Suffolk an overall grade of A on May 19, 2020.[5] It was one of only six polls to receive that rating.
