Research 2000, source of weird Missouri poll data, accused of fraud

A polling outfit whose work The Pitch questioned in 2008 is being labeled a fraud by a client.

On Tuesday, the liberal politics blog Daily Kos disowned the polls it had asked Research 2000 to conduct. The blog’s founder, Markos Moulitsas, has concluded that Research 2000’s survey results are “bunk” after reading a report by three statisticians who examined the Maryland company’s work.
