We are glad to support this effort and @sam-workman.bsky.social to bring deeper visibility into perspectives across the Mountain State.
Working with @verasight.io, this will be the most comprehensive assessment of perceptions and perspectives on an important policy issue in the state. Our survey design allows us to reach more granular descriptions of residents' perceptions of energy policy than have been possible previously.

At the start of the term, voters seemed skeptical of the “iron rule” of midterm loss. More recent data from @verasight.io paints a more complex picture. Check out our (@marystegmaier.bsky.social & Mike Lewis-Beck) new piece @center4politics.bsky.social

Great to see the new poll from @gelliottmorris.com / @verasight.bsky.social: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-v...
New poll: Voters want Democrats to win in NJ, VA and in 2026, as they push back on Trump
Plus: Voters trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy; a majority of voters say Trump is acting above the law; and 62% say the country is off on the wrong track

some more work from me here for the academic crowd interested in "ai polling"
In Verasight’s second synthetic data paper, @gelliottmorris.com, Ben Leff and @peterenns.bsky.social find that the performance of synthetic samples does not consistently improve (and can perform worse) with additional administrative data or real survey responses. Link in the thread.

Read the white paper, it's very well done, but the answer is "no, they do not actually work"
In polling world, “synthetic sampling” (using LLMs to replace human respondents) has been getting a lot of attention recently. Last wk, Ipsos announced a synthetic panel!
But does it actually work? Here’s a white paper I wrote: “Your Polls on ChatGPT”
