Are Polls Accurate?
Manage episode 274751552 series 2794863
In “Are Polls Accurate?” we speak with Molly O’Rourke, a pollster and partner at Hart Research, a public opinion research firm in Washington. In a billion-dollar industry, more people than ever are motivated by and place tremendous stock in survey research. O’Rourke talks about whether polling is accurate in 2019, what went wrong in 2016 and why Mayor Pete Buttigieg shouldn’t be concerned about polls at this stage of the 2020 race. I’ll also mention some persistent truths I’ve noticed in the survey research industry, particularly regarding online polling and “push polls.”
