« L'hiver approche, et pourtant, les journées électorales s'allongent, constate Le Monde à Paris. Engagés dans une empoignade incertaine, tendue et souvent confuse, Kamala Harris et Donald Trump multiplient les déplacements et les prises de parole. Les coups fusent. Chaque heure est un heurt. À deux semaines d'une élection présidentielle, le 5 novembre, qui mettra à l'épreuve l'État de droit américain et la solidité des procédures de vote, les candidats se focalisent sur un nombre réduit d'États-pivots, qu'ils labourent avec ardeur. Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvanie, Caroline du Nord, Géorgie : c'est là que se décidera la route vers les 270 grands électeurs indispensables pour entrer à la Maison Blanche. Il suffira peut-être, s'exclame Le Monde, d'un comté, d'une ville ou d'un quartier favorable, pour que les dominos tombent au profit de l'un ou de l'autre. À moins que derrière les sondages, souvent contradictoires, ne se dessine une surprise : une victoire plus franche, plus indiscutable que ne l'envisagent la quasi-totalité des experts ».À lire aussiPrésidentielle aux États-Unis: le Wisconsin, l'un des les sept États clés où le scrutin peut basculerSondages : le grand flou…« Les sondeurs se sont trompés en 2020. Se tromperont-ils à nouveau en 2024 ? », s'interroge le Wall Street Journal.En effet, il y a 4 ans, « les enquêtes indiquaient que Joe Biden fermait la marche face au président sortant Donald Trump qui avait une confortable avance, entre 7 et 8 points. Résultat : Joe Biden l'a emporté avec un peu moins de 4 points et demi d'avance, ce qui lui a permis d'arracher de justesse la victoire au collège électoral ». Alors,« si les sondages manquent encore la cible cette année, la faible avance de la vice-présidente Kamala Harris observée aujourd'hui se révélerait en fait être une avance… pour Trump ».Depuis 2020, les sondeurs ont tenté d'améliorer leurs outils. Mais les observateurs sont sceptiques, pointe le Wall Street Journal : « "Nous nous dirigeons vers un nouveau désastre", affirme Jon Krosnick, politologue à l'université de Stanford. Entre autres problèmes, il estime que de nombreuses enquêtes en ligne récentes utilisent des méthodes d'échantillonnage qui n'ont pas fait leurs preuves. Une autre politologue, Courtney Kennedy du Pew Research Center a suivi les changements apportés par les sondeurs ces dernières années pour améliorer la précision de leurs enquêtes. Elle espère que la situation va s'améliorer. "Les sondeurs se sont efforcés de corriger leurs erreurs, affirme-t-elle, mais il n'y a pas de solution miracle" ».Bref, on reste dans le flou…Outrances…En attendant, les candidats entament leur sprint final…Et Donald Trump multiplie les outrances verbales : Paul Krugman, l'un des éditorialistes du New York Times n'en revient pas : « il est clair qu'il se passe quelque chose avec Donald Trump, écrit-il. Il y a encore un an, je ne pense pas qu'il aurait commencé un meeting par 12 minutes de remarques décousues sur le défunt golfeur Arnold Palmer, conclues par une digression sur la taille du pénis de ce même Arnold Palmer ».En effet, constate Le Figaro à Paris, « Donald Trump accumule ces derniers jours des grossièretés impensables pour des millions d'Américains. Le milliardaire populiste n'a jamais fait dans la dentelle, notamment en privé, mais cette succession de vulgarités dites en public, en pleine campagne pour la Maison Blanche, surprend ou consterne. (…) Samedi soir, en meeting à Latrobe, en Pennsylvanie, précise le journal, le républicain de 78 ans a ouvert son discours par une digression surprenante (donc) sur la star locale, Arnold Palmer, décédé en 2016, légende américaine du golf, en expliquant combien les autres golfeurs professionnels étaient impressionnés par l'appareil génital du champion. (…) À lire aussiÀ la Une: Donald Trump a-t-il toute sa tête ?…et injures !« Durant ce même meeting, pointe encore Le Figaro, Donald Trump a adressé une bordée d'injures à sa rivale démocrate, Kamala Harris. "Tu es une vice-présidente de merde, la pire, tu es virée, dégage d'ici“, a-t-il lancé. Et, auparavant, il avait qualifié la vice-présidente des États-Unis de "tarée", de "glandeuse" ou encore de "véritable pourriture". (…) Dans l'entourage du républicain, certains s'inquiètent qu'avec ces nouvelles outrances il s'aliène les électeurs les plus modérés du parti, alors que chaque voix comptera pour la présidentielle du 5 novembre. Kamala Harris l'a bien compris, relève Le Figaro. Hier, elle a été rejointe sur son estrade de campagne par la républicaine Liz Cheney, figure de la droite anti-Trump. Cette femme, devenue la bête noire du septuagénaire, a récemment appelé les électeurs à rejeter "la cruauté dépravée" de Donald Trump. Réplique de l'ancien président : Liz Cheney est "con comme un balai" ».

Since 1956, European countries have been gathering each year to compete in the Eurovision song contest -- a competition of largely pop and techno artists that can often feel like a parody of European tastes in music. There have long been accusations of bias in the voting process and last Saturday's competition -- which Sweden won -- was no exception. In this installment of the podcast, Galen speaks with statistics and health economics professor Gianluca Baio, who created a model to determine whether there really are biases advantaging or disadvantaging certain nations. Galen also speaks with Courtney Kennedy, vice president of methods and innovation at the Pew Research Center, who recently published a study showing that the polling industry of today bears little semblance to the polling industry at the start of the century. The days of real human beings randomly dialing landline phones are gone, but what does that mean for the accuracy of public opinion research? Learn more about your ad choices.

Anyone casually following the 2020 election this year may have noticed a particular pattern in polling trends and election results. That pattern, in key presidential states as well as Senate races, went something like this:  Democrat ahead… Democrat still ahead... Democrat a bit ahead, days away from the election… But then: Republican wins by a fair amount.  How was so much polling inaccuracy possible again in 2020 at nearly all levels? Episode 21 of the Purple Principle, “2020 Polling in Hindsight,” attempts to answer that vexing question by consulting two polling experts – Dr. Natalie Jackson, Director of Research at PRRI and Dr. Brian Schaffner of Tufts University.  Dr. Jackson gives a sense of the technological challenges faced today by pollsters now that few individuals answer their phones, both landline or mobile. On top of that, a sizable number of bright red Republicans are mistrustful of pollsters and unlikely to participate even when contacted. But for indie-minded Purple Principle listeners, Dr. Jackson does confirm that the independent position often predicts which way the American majority will swing.  Dr. Shaffner mentions that in today's polarized environment, some respondents deliberately give dishonest answers to pollsters, often venting ideological views in the process. It also appears a “non-trivial” number of voters split their tickets in 2020, marking the Pro-Biden (or anti-Trump) box up top, but hedging against Democratic control down-ballot as well.    What's a pollster to do in a polarized age with a mistrustful slice of electorate and a shifting political landscape? No simple answers but a lot of helpful insights and information in Episode 21, “2020 Polling in Hindsight (Someone Please Answer the Phone)”.  Original music by Ryan Adair Rooney.

Political polling isn’t a crystal ball into election outcomes this November, but it is a useful tool to help us understand where certain groups of voters stand in a given point in time. On this episode of the Politics Podcast, host Jeff Tiberii examines what makes a good poll, and what might make a survey less reliable. Courtney Kennedy, director of survey research at the Pew Research Center , provides a behind-the-scenes look at political polling. And David McLennan, director of the Meredith Poll in Raleigh, talks about the polling process in this battleground state of North Carolina.

In 2016, poll after poll predicted a Hillary Clinton victory, and voters constantly heard that she was "ahead in the polls." But, what does that really mean? Why were the polls so far off? And if polls can be so wrong about who's going to win the election, why should we bother paying attention to them this time around? Kristen talks with Courtney Kennedy from the Pew Research Center about lessons learned from 2016 and why there is real value in proper polling. Plus, CNN's polling expert Harry Enten teaches us how to spot a bad poll from a good one. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

The 2016 US presidential election rattled public confidence in polling. Yet, in the 2020 election cycle, news media is still dominated by the latest polling numbers and a similar consensus that President Donald Trump will not be re-elected. How are polls conducted? What went wrong in 2016? How accurate are they in 2020? To discuss these issues, USSC hosted a webinar event featuring Dr Courtney Kennedy, Director of Survey Research at the Pew Research Centre in conversation with United States Studies Centre CEO Professor Simon Jackman, co-author of the upcoming brief, “Are pre-election polls accurate?”

The Science Of Polling In 2020 And Beyond In today’s fast-paced digital culture, it is more difficult than ever to follow and trust political polls. Campaigns, pollsters, and media outlets each say that their numbers are right, but can report different results. Plus, the 2016 election is still fresh in the public’s mind, when the major story was how political polling got it wrong.  But despite how people may feel about the practice, the numbers suggest that polls are still working. Even as telephone survey response rates have fallen to around 5%, polling accuracy has stayed consistent, according to a new report published by the Pew Research Center. But things get even trickier when talking about online polls.  So how can polling adapt to the way people live now, with texting, social media, and connecting online? And will the public continue to trust the numbers? Ira talks with Courtney Kennedy, director of survey research at the Pew Research Center about the science of polling in 2020 and beyond. Kennedy also told SciFri three questions you should ask when you’re evaluating a poll. Find out more. Why Native Fish Matter The fish populations of the Great Lakes have changed dramatically in the years since invasive species first arrived. Bloodsucking sea lampreys have decimated native lake trout, and tiny alewives have feasted on the eggs and young of trout and other native species. But there’s good news too, as researchers roll out solutions to help manage invasive fish populations and maintain the diversity of species.  In this next installment of the SciFri Book Club, Fish ecologist Solomon David explains why the biodiversity of the Great Lakes matters more than ever, and how to appreciate these hard-to-see freshwater fish.  Planning For Spring Waters Along The Missouri In Missouri, people are looking towards repaired levees in the hopes of reducing future flood damage. Our Bodies Are Cooling Down 98.6 F is no longer the average healthy body temperature. Is improving health the culprit? Science journalist Eleanor Cummins reports the latest in science news.

If you read, listen or watch the news today it’s impossible to avoid public opinion polls. They are literally everywhere. The president’s approval rating, what people think about impeachment, even what the best fast food restaurant is. But as omnipresent as opinion surveys are, a lot of the math and science that goes into them is relatively unknown to many people. There are also a lot of questions about how polls work and how they should work. Why do most polls include more Democrats than Republicans? Do political “independents” actually exist? There are also a lot of misunderstandings about opinion surveys. Many people, think that they got the 2016 presidential election wrong. But that’s not quite true. In fact, the national polls did a pretty good job of predicting what the vote would be. But some of the state polls, did get it wrong, and the Constitution awards the presidency to the candidate with the most Electoral College votes—not the popular vote. To get to the bottom of these issues, Theory of Change host Matthew Sheffield spoke with Courtney Kennedy, the director of survey research at the Pew Research Center. In the conversation, Kennedy talks at length about the profusion of survey research companies and the rise of polling aggregation operations like those at the FiveThirtyEight, RealClearPolitics, and the New York Times. While she is skeptical about some pollsters’ practices, she also wonders whether it make sense to lump low-quality polls with those from organizations with much stricter standards. She also warns that trying to create election forecasts that assign a candidate’s percentage chance of winning based on polls may actually suppress voter turnout. Kennedy also discuss how polling operations have had to change how they conduct research in light of the rise of spam phone calls. One surprising change that the Pew Research Center has made is to go old-school by recruiting poll respondents via letters in their mailboxes.

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we speak with Courtney Kennedy, Director of Survey Research for Pew Research Center. The topic on the table is why polls do not include the same number of Republicans and Democrats. And, yes, they are representative.

If you ever watch, listen, or read the news, you’ll hear about political polls. There are polls for almost everything: Special congressional races, the popularity of the Iran Nuclear Deal, and, of course, the president’s approval rating. According to polling experts Courtney Kennedy and Fred Yang, the barriers to conducting wide-reaching polls have diminished over the past several years, allowing new pollsters to enter the fray. We look at why not all polls are created equal.
