Thinkers Lunch: Can We Still Trust the Polls? Inside the New Math of Political Perception

How much faith should we place in polling? Drawing on new data from AP-NORC, the Edelman Trust Barometer, and George Washington University’s post-election research, Cody Hand and Joyce (Kohn) Sullivan, two veteran NC political operatives explore how technology, partisanship, and distrust in institutions are reshaping the reliability of public opinion surveys, and why traditional polling models are struggling to reach modern voters.
