Pollsters can use different scales to ask respondents about their political ideology. Our new Decoded post examines how a 7-point scale with only the endpoints labeled (“extreme left” vs. “extreme right”) compares with a fully labeled, 5-point scale.https://bit.ly/3hPCv9G

New on Decoded, we explore two different ways of asking telephone survey respondents in Europe about their political ideology. One approach uses a 7-point scale with only the endpoints labeled; the other uses a 5-point scale that is fully labeled.

In recent years, voters who have graduated from a four-year college have been more likely to answer surveys & also more likely to support a Democrat for president – meaning high quality polls must add an educational adjustment to their results. Read more:https://pewrsr.ch/2CE3ENx

This report focuses on education levels, but other poll features matter too (transparency, sample source, etc). A plausible education profile should be on the checklist for trustworthiness in state polls – but there are other items on the list too:https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/08/05/key-things-to-know-about-election-polling-in-the-united-states/ …

Reviews of 2016 polling found that failing to adjust for overrepresentation of college grads was among the reasons many state-level polls underestimated Trump's support.

Students learning about surveys are generally taught that a very large sample size is a sign of quality because it means that the results are more precise. While that principle remains true in theory, the reality of modern polling is different.https://pewrsr.ch/3iay5d5

Transparency in how a poll was conducted is associated with better accuracy – This means disclosing essential information like the poll’s sponsor, where & how participants were selected, the mode of interview, field dates, sample size, question wording and weighting procedures.

The margin of error only addresses the fact that random samples are likely to slightly differ from the population. But there are 3 other sources of error in polling: nonresponse, coverage error and mismeasurement. (The real margin of error is often about double the one reported.)

Different polling organizations conduct their surveys in different ways – While some use traditional phone polling methods, some use online opt-in panels. Others conduct polls online using a panel of respondents recruited offline (similarly to our American Trends Panel).
