Election 2024 Project
The Social Science and Social Media Collaborative has teamed up with CNN and their polling partners SSRS and Verasight to analyze data from weekly polls of Americans collected between the end of June through Election Day.
Results for the survey are collected online from Friday through Monday each week, in English, among a nationwide sample of approximately 1,000 adults per week via the SSRS Opinion Panel Omnibus survey and Verasight’s verified panel. Results from the two surveys are combined using SSRS’s Encipher Hybrid methodology for blending probability and non-probability samples. Respondents are asked, “What, if anything, have you heard, read or seen in the past few days about Donald Trump?”, “What, if anything, have you heard, read or seen in the past few days about Joe Biden?”, “What, if anything, have you heard, read or seen in the past few days about Kamala Harris?”, and “What, if anything, have you heard, read or seen in the past few days about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?”
