Blog #5: Polling


Read this article about the polling for the 2016 election: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-fivethirtyeight-gave-trump-a-better-chance-than-almost-anyone-else/

Then, find and discuss some 2016 election polls of your choosing from around the election. What did pollsters get right about your candidate? What did they miss? How could the polling have been better, in your informed opinion? If you were conducting a poll to better understand your candidate's chances and impressions, what kinds of questions would you want to ask? What is important about polling -- why does it matter? What are its limitations? (Here's an optional retrospective that might be a useful resource, also from fivethirtyeight.com: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-polls-missed-trump-we-asked-pollsters-why/)

Your blog posts should be approx. 500 words. They should include links, images, multimedia, etc. More information is provided in an assignment sheet on Blackboard.
