"This morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee will continue its hearings for the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. The position became vacant following the death of the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in September. This is President Trump's third Supreme Court nomination, following his nomination of Justice Gorsuch to replace the late Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, and his nomination of Justice Kavanaugh to replace Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy.

We’re members of AAPOR, the nation’s largest organization of public opinion and survey researchers, and we’re here to answer all your 2020 election polling questions. Ask us anything!

Posted: 15 Oct 2020 09:02 AM PDT

We're Camille Burge and Lydia Saad, two members of the non-partisan, scientific organization, the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). AAPOR believes that public opinion research – which includes polling – is essential for a functioning democracy to hold our leaders accountable for representing the will of the people.

The whiplash of polling between President Trump and Joe Biden continues as we approach the last campaign stage of the 2020 Presidential Election. If you've ever wondered about margins of error or how to properly interpret an election poll, we're here to help! We're both on the AAPOR taskforce that's examining the pre-election polling performance for the 2020 race. Check out our first report – released a few days ago – which found that the pre-election Democratic primary polls were accurate. You can also check out AAPOR's 2016 election evaluation which dispelled the widespread belief that the "polls got it wrong." In fact, the 2016 national presidential polls were accurate by historical standards, but some state polls were not as accurate as the national polls.

Hi! My name is Camille Burge and I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Villanova. I study Political Psychology and Racial and Ethnic politics with emphases on Black-White relations, the role of emotions in politics, and intersectionality. My research has been published in top tier political science journals, featured in PsyPost, Politico, and The New York Times, and I have participated in several conversations on NPR's Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane. One fun fact about me: I am a classically trained vocalist and have been singing this style of music since I was 10. Instead of singing in and or alongside symphony orchestras and world-renowned choirs, I now sing karaoke at a few neighborhood bars. My "go to" songs are Killing Me Softly by The Fugees, I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston, and I Don't Want to Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. Ask me anything about how polls are constructed (question wording, question ordering, response options), the opinions of racial and ethnic minorities, how women are viewing the candidates, how emotions are shaping the political landscape, and differences across subgroups in early voting.

I'm Lydia, and I'm the Director of U.S. Social Research at Gallup, where I work alongside an all-star team to develop the content of U.S. Gallup Poll surveys and report the data on Gallup's news website. This year's presidential election will be my eighth since joining Gallup in 1992. I'm on the AAPOR taskforce analyzing the polling performance for the 2020 Presidential Election, which I also did in 2016. Unlike Camille, I can't sing, but I love to listen to all kinds of music and I'm an aspiring gardener. Ask me anything about how polls are conducted, what topics Gallup is covering in the 2020 election, how much the economy is factoring into the vote, plus anything you want to know about Trump's job approval rating, Trump and Biden's favorable ratings, and partisan differences in early voting and likelihood to turn out.
