Hybrid event [A5, 6, Room A231 + Zoom]

Abstract
Election polls are a central feature of modern electoral campaigns, providing voters with information that can guide their decisions. Yet, voters are often confronted with many polls showing volatile or conflicting outcomes, and media outlets present these polls in very different ways. This raises two key questions: (1) How do voters judge the trustworthiness of a poll’s results? and (2) How does the way a poll is presented affect these perceptions? I present experimental evidence from two large-scale studies in Germany. Together, they show that both the content of a poll and the way it is presented influence voter perceptions, offering new insights into how individuals navigate modern campaigns environments.

Over @howtheyvote.eu, I try to take a look back at each EP plenary session once it's done, and I had a second to look for interesting patterns in the votes - the roundup for the last plenary session at the end of october just dropped!
🗳️ Another #plenary week (actually calendar week 43) in the #EP is (long) over and votes are up on howtheyvote.eu!
After making sure we give you the most up-to date and comprehensive data on roll-call votes possible, let's take a 👀 at some of the things that happened in the European Parliament: A 🧵
