Research 2000: Problems in plain sight

It does seem like polling fraud is temptingly simple, at least on topics where a lot of other pollsters exist: just report a randomly perturbed version of what other pollsters are reporting, save yourself the money of actually doing the calls, and usually nobody will notice--- if anything, polls get more scrutiny when they don't match up with others, than when they do.
