AAPOR Releases Report Evaluating 2024 Election Polling

The American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR), a COSSA governing member, has released a new report titled “Task Force on 2024 Pre-Election Polling: An Evaluation of the 2024 General Election Polls.” This report analyzes the effectiveness of pre-election polling for the 2024 elections. The task force found that polls were more accurate compared to previous election years, and that – consistent with recent trends – polls underestimated Republican votes compared to Democrats’.

The report was discussed in-depth at a recent AAPOR webinar, details can be found here.
