21. It was done, shortly after the elections.
I'm sure a good google session would find the relevant pages.

The results were close to the official national vote tally.

Which would mean one of three things:

1) There was no bandwagon effect, even though it is an established phenomenon.

or

2) There was a bandwagon effect, and there was also a cancelling pro-democratic bias in selection by the pollsters.

or

3) The official vote tally was wrong, the sampling in the survey was either spot-on or biased towards republicans, and there was a bandwagon effect.

Unfortunately, the results are wide open to speculation.
