CHS is not listed as we do work for real clients. Shappard can’t get work from clients running for office as his work is a joke and no one takes his number seriously. He was off on the Tulsa Mayors race by over 20 points and he was caught making up numbers by a former employee who left over the episode.

I was wondering the same thing about CHS and especially WRS. Chris Wilson’s work is top notch and nationally known (More reknown than sooner poll, at least)

Bill can’t get business on internal polls anymore because of his shoddy work. CMA and AH Strategies don’t let their clients near Sooner Poll.

It’s not that Bill does a bad job, it’s just sloppy. When it comes to internal polls, MoE is king and you can’t make informed decisions on 7% or 8%. Even 5% is hard enough.

But TV doesn’t care too much. They want cheap and mostly right. That’s why KOTV probably still uses him. He’s not expensive, and it’s mostly correct.

Did I miss something, or is CMA CHS, WRS or any other Oklahoma firm listed at all?

I’m shocked an OU professor would associate with these folks. Disgraceful. People need to call Boren about this. Soonerpoll or TVPoll is almost the worst polling company in America based on these numbers. What a joke.

surprising Griffin is a fine Oklahoma owned company

the real gay target is Bible belt morality if you read the liberal rants…Oklahoma has become a battlefield for the national GLBT contributors. According to their media they think we are ignorant undergovernmenteducated hicks.

No one takes Shappard seriously. He’s a joke who makes it up as he goes. KWTV and Griffin Communications are damaging their own credibility by associating with this hack.
