Polling Postmortem – Tuesday, November 15th (Blog #10)

How did the polls perform in the 2022 midterm elections? Were they accurate in predicting winners in the major races, or did they miss the mark? How important was the issue you’re assessing for the QU Poll Trends Project in the 2022 midterms and was it reflected in the polls? Finally, what are some of the challenges/issues with polling that were highlighted by this latest election cycle? To support your response, you need to use one of the readings posted on Blackboard, one article you find on your own, and a third article that is either one of the Blackboard readings or from an outside source.

Election Recap – Thursday, November 10th (Blog #9)

Our Thursday class meeting will be a debrief on the 2022 campaign, so I want you to offer your take on the following topics. First, what forms of campaign communication do you think were most effective for your candidate and which strategies did not work/were not effective? Second, how would you assess the media coverage of the midterm election results, both from Election Night and the following days? Finally, how would you assess voters' reactions to the results of this year’s midterm races (both the one you tracked and others) based on what people are posting on social media? Refer to at least one previous class reading and two outside sources to support your response.
