Listen Later

With the election fast approaching, Americans are once again questioning whether they can trust the polls. 

After significant misses in 2016 and 2020, many are wondering if pollsters have a better sense this time of who will be voting. 

In this episode, Mosheh talks with polling legend Scott Keeter, senior survey advisor at Pew Research Center, to explore the accuracy of modern polling, what has gone wrong and what has been fixed. They dive into how pollsters are grappling with an electorate that’s harder to reach, less likely to respond to questions, and more distrustful of institutions. 

How is the polling industry adapting? By taking a throwback approach. Listen to find out more.
