Pollster.com, a website co-founded by UW Professor Charles Franklin, was named one of TIME Magazine's Top 50 Best Websites of 2009.
Pollster.com is a website dedicated to tracking political polls across the country. Users can aggregate poll data and also mix and match polls.
TIME Magazine illustrates this point best by saying, "...it has a Web interface that allows you to remix it on the fly. Is there a poll you don't trust? Throw it out! Want a different smoothing algorithm? Change it! How much difference does it even make? Magnify the X and Y axes with a mouse-click and find out."
Pollster's accessibility is what gained notoriety and proved especially pertinent during the 2008 presidential election.
