Marquette is "gold standard"

[MU82]

I was just on the 538 site, which aggregates all kinds of election polls, and I ran across this line.

I cut it short so that this isn't "about politics."

The Marquette Law School Poll — often seen as the gold standard in the Badger State ...

Nice to read that about the alma mater, even if I didn't go to law school.

I've always wondered .. why is the polling based in the MU Law School instead of .. I dunno, A&S or just the general University.

No idea. Probably if one of us sent them an email inquiry they'd respond with an answer ... but that would require 3 minutes of time that any of us could spend more wisely at Arby's.

Not my fault. I voted for us to be called the Marquette Blue.

Because the poll is a law school initiative to highlight its efforts in public policy
