Hand in hand with NBC is often Quinnipiac:
Quinnipiac (NYT/CBS):
| State | Pollster | Pollster Margin | Actual Margin | Bias | Bias (simplified) |
| Ohio | Quinnipiac / NYT / CBS | D +5 | D +2,97 | D +2,03 | D +2 |
| Florida | Quinnipiac / NYT / CBS | D +1 | D +0,88 | D +0,12 | 0 |
| New York* | Quinnipiac | D +28 | D +28,13 | R +0,13 | 0 |
| Virginia | Quinnipiac / NYT / CBS | D +2 | D +3,87 | R +1,87 | R +2 |
| Connecticut | Quinnipiac | D +14 | D +17,33 | R +3,33 | R +3 |
| New Jersey* | Quinnipiac | D +8 | D +17,68 | R +9,68 | R +10 |
| Bias (ALL) | R +2,17 | | | | |
| Bias (3 battlegrounds) | R +0,66 | | | | |

As is the case with Marist, Quinnipiac has hooked up with a major newspaper and a major news network (NYT and CBS) to produce polling. There were 5 end polls, 3 were from battleground states.
Two big points here:
-Quinnipiac absolutely nailed the margin in Florida and New York.
-Though it has a conservative bias of R +2.17 for the 5 polls combined, among the three battlegrounds (Ohio, Florida and Virginia), its bias is
absolute null. This is the only pollster to have acheived this mark, but then again, Quinnipiac only put out results for 3 of 12 battlegrounds. What "skewed" the results were the terrible poll numbers out of New Jersey (R +10!), which happened to a number of pollsters, most likely because of hurricane Sandy.
But just as was the case with Marist, no Liberal bias to be seen here!
