Leve on Pollster Report Cards, Part III

I am playing catch up after a day spent mostly in airports and offline. So I pass along this item after only a brief review: SurveyUSA's Jay Leve has posted yet more on their new and evolving pollster report cards. It follows up on our previous exchange and my column posted earlier today.

The gist of this post is that, in at least one example -- polls conducted prior to this year's Iowa caucuses -- the "most accurate" poll was not necessarily the last one. Anyway, our always attentive readers will be able to give Leve's post more attention than me today, so please have at it.

Meanwhile, you may want to click through to Leve's post if for no other reason than he kindly posted a photo that, in all the craziness of the last few months, I never managed to post here: It shows Charles Franklin and me receiving the AAPOR Warren Mitofsky Innovators Award last May (that's Franklin on the left, me on the right and Mia Mather, Warren Mitofsky's widow, in the center).
