Election 2020 Project
The Social Science and Social Media Collaborative has teamed up with CNN and their polling partner SSRS to analyze data from weekly polls of Americans collected between the end of June through Election Day.
Interviews are conducted over a six-day period each week, typically Tuesdays through Sundays, by telephone, in English and Spanish, among a nationwide, random sample of approximately 1,000 adults per week via the SSRS Omnibus survey. Respondents are asked, “What, if anything, have you heard, read or seen in the past few days about Donald Trump?” and “What, if anything, have you heard, read or seen in the past few days about Joe Biden?”
