CBS, NYT Team With Quinnipiac on Presidential Polls

CBS News will team with Quinnipiac University and The New York Times on polling for the upcoming presidential election.

The polls start this month and continue through October in six key states: Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

"CBS News, The New York Times and Quinnipiac University all have proven track records of conducting polls that maintain the same rigorous standards," said Sarah Dutton, director of surveys for CBS News in a statement. "The information to come out of these polls will be invaluable during the election."

CBS and The New York Times have teamed for polling for almost four decades; it is Quinnipiac that is new to that equation, though not to polling.

It has been conducting public opinion polls on a range of issues for two decades.
