How Researchers Can Learn from Recent Political Polling Challenges (Event Summary)

• LA Council

Most recently, an ARF event about the November polls found that while some issues are unique to political polling, many impact all survey research, for example, obtaining representative samples while response rates are declining, validity of responses, and predicting behavior and attitude trends.
