Margin of Error: How Political Polling Really Works

Central Florida: Beyond The Soundbite

Polls, polls, everywhere polls! We are just days away from Election Day, and wouldn’t you know it, we are being inundated with polls about who’s winning where, what voters think about this and that, and frankly, it can get overwhelming, because who do you believe? And if you think a poll is right, somebody will remind you about 2016 when the polls didn’t match the electorate. Shedding some light on all of this is Chris Jackson, the senior vice president of Ipsos Polling Place. Plus, Gary recalls how an old Batman episode featuring Adam West shows that a mayoral race between the Caped Crusader and Penguin is not too different from real-life elections decades later.
