Think of it more like the original poll. They originated the census weighting methodology. In statistics classes about methodologies and survey design, it ALWAYS starts with a reference to the Literary Digest poll being wrong about Alf Landon beating FDR and Gallup, a new poll, being dead right with only like a sample size of over 1000 while Literary Digest sampled all their readers.

I don't recall them doing polls for commission like almost every other poll does.
