This would herald the end of opt-in panel-based survey methods, since like Gresham's law or Akerlof's market for lemons, without being able to distinguish between real and fake respondents, fake respondents will drive the market price for real responses to zero.

Ann Arbor turned out! No Kings!!

This is completely infuriating. People work extremely hard and changed their entire lives to move to a whole new country, away from their family and friends, to pursue the highest level of education just to have everything they worked for suddenly taken away from them for no good reason at all...

Postcards have advantages but for my past I think its time to try different stuff. Considering their downsides (time, postage, the sheer wrist pain of it all) I urge others to think similarly. Lets try new stuff. /thread

we're hiring!! the polling team at @bluelabs.bsky.social has 2 open positions: polling analyst: job-boards.greenhouse.io/bluelabsanal... polling manager: job-boards.greenhouse.io/bluelabsanal... if you love surveys and solving tough problems then we should chat! please apply/share widely!

My four part messaging strategy for any Democrat for the next four years: ABCD -Abortion is healthcare -Build the damn roads (ie deliver on basic functions of government ) -Cost are too damn high (housing, health care, higher ed, help with kids and aging parents) -Don’t forget about the corruption

I embedded an experiment in latest survey to test effect of attributing the "poisoning the blood" language to Trump... GOP voters inclined to agree with language to begin with, and attributing it to Trump just increases their acceptance, especially among MAGA More: www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-new...

Do voters agree with Trump that immigrants who enter U.S. illegally are "poisoning the blood" of the country? Most RVs don't, but eight in ten GOP primary voters agree — that includes nearly all MAGA identifiers and even a majority of non-MAGA primary voters Read more: cbsnews.com/news/trump-n...
