@verasight.bsky.social's #aapor25 survey
📊 At @aapor.bsky.social’s Annual Conference, GSG Vice President @alexvhj.bsky.social shared how we significantly reduced 2024 polling error and bias using vote recall, turnout weighting & engagement-based weights — all built on lessons from 2020 & 2022. #AAPOR25
This is what passes for advanced analysis in this field and I'm not exaggerating
Everyone- @natesilver538.tweet.pub ,@fivethirtyeight.universeodon.com.ap.brid.gy, @aapor.bsky.social, @statmodeling.bsky.social and anyone else who cares should take notice, and fix their methods & standards
#AAPOR25
I enjoyed their polling explainer at the end -- especially right on the tail of @aapor.bsky.social #AAPOR25.
