How Polling Can Move Political Conversations Forward w/ Doug Kaplan | Politics with Paul #66
How do various organizations benefit from polling? How can targeted communication and unbiased polling move conversations forward? Seasoned pollster Doug Kaplan discusses these questions and more, including whether political betting markets are a threat to pollsters, public misconceptions about polling, and what polling and market research in other countries can tell us about engaging American communities in civil political dialogue.
Key Points
- Polling remains a crucial tool for gauging public opinion and guiding political strategies despite facing challenges like rising costs and public skepticism.
- Political betting markets complement rather than replace polling by using poll data to inform odds, but they are susceptible to manipulation and insider influence.
- Engaging diverse communities in civil political dialogue requires focusing on common issues like healthcare and housing, which can bridge partisan divides and foster cooperation.
