September 7, 2006, 8:24 AM EDT

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP)_ The owner of a company that had done political and public opinion polls for several candidates has pleaded guilty to fraud for making up survey and poll results.

Tracy Costin, 46, of Madison pleaded guilty Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Costin owned and operated DataUSA Inc., a survey and polling firm with offices in West Haven and Guilford.

According to court documents, clients included the campaigns of President George W. Bush, U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. and Bridgeport Mayor John M. Fabrizi.

5. So who is investigating pollsters today?
You know they are still doctoring polls.
Look around the country and watch how many of the polls are closing in for a close race. This enables them to tamper with the vote and the general public will not question the results.
