I wrote a piece for Scientific American on the value of public opinion polling and the potential for polling to help deepen our understanding of the electorate and the forces shaping their decisions.
“Horse race polling serves its purpose, but it is only a fragment of what polls can reveal about our democracy.”

Coverage of some results from a population segmentation study we conducted ahead of the election that revealed pervasive cynicism across almost all groups of Americans. Always a joy to collaborate with @trosenstiel.bsky.social, @soubhikbarari.bsky.social, and colleagues.
How deep seated is American political cynicism? A comprehensive study by researchers at NORC, Louisiana State University, and the University of Maryland revealed a deep sense of cynicism that crosses political divisions.

Cynicism is rampant across the political spectrum.
