After all, he has much more than money to lose; his and Koz's credibility with their own constituents is at stake too. It would not be the first time a polling outfit in the process of trying to establish itself in an increasingly competitive business cooked the numbers to avoid the pesky costs of actually running thousands of interviews (all the more tempting when you know the client will be pleased with the concocted results). Back in the 70s, I had dealings with one such polling firm (long since disbanded) that was found to have made up results when the partners had a falling out with each other. It happens, and clients looking for a bargain instead of a firm with a reputation to lose must always beware.J. E.
