A recent Washington Post analysis (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/03/01/why-are-white-people-so-much-less-willing-to-describe-trump-as-racist/?utm_term=.8e490b529724) by Philip Bump asserts Democrats are more likely to say they approve of  President Donald Trump’s job performance when they respond to a poll  conducted online or via IVR than by telephone. In turn, Bump argues, the  president’s job approval rating is higher in polls conducted online  rather by phone.
In this episode, the Poll Hub team debunks Bump’s analysis  through an in-depth discussion of social desirability, mode effects, and  a study from the Pew Research Center and explains why omitting house  effects from the analysis of survey research is dangerous.
