Survey research is in a state of crisis. People have become less
willing to respond to polls and recent misses in critical elections
have undermined the field's credibility. Pollsters have developed many
tools for dealing with the new environment, an increasing number of
which rely on risky opt-in samples. Virtually all of these tools
require that respondents in each demographic category are a
representative sample of all people in each demographic category,
something that is unlikely to be reliably true. Polling at a
Crossroads moves beyond such strong limitations, providing tools that
work even when survey respondents are unrepresentative in complex
ways. This book provides case studies that show how to avoid
underestimating Trump support and how conventional polls exaggerate
partisan differences. This book also helps us think in clear and
sometimes counterintuitive ways and points toward simple, low-cost
changes that can better address contemporary polling challenges.
