How Did We Get It So Wrong?
How Did We Get It So Wrong?
Speaker
Krista Jenkins
Professor of Political Science, Fairleigh
Dickinson University
Executive Director, PublicMind
The
presidential election brought into sharp focus the public’s unease with the
accuracy of polls. From underestimating sizable differences, to overstating
levels of support, the role of public opinion polls in our democracy today goes
far beyond simply predicting the outcome of a race.
Join
us as Krista Jenkins, professor of political science
at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and the Executive Director of
PublicMind, FDU’s Research Center, discusses the role of public opinion polls
and its challenges which this election certainly served to highlight. Ms.
Jenkins will also focus on the extent to which unease over polling accuracy is
warranted, as well as the art and science of conducting and reporting on
complicated and many times confusing polling data. Krista Jenkins is a frequent broadcast and print commentator on politics in New
Jersey, and author of numerous articles and books on Politics and Gender, Politics and Youth and the American Political
Behavior.
