Polling the Pollsters
Setup
What health issues will play a role at the ballot box this election season? And will they influence voter turnout? As 2024 campaigns heat up, pollsters want to know what most concerns voters and whether those concerns will translate into political engagement, especially in battleground states. They’ll be polling key voting groups, including women, about their priorities and asking how healthcare affordability and abortion access affect their decisions. And they’ll discuss the challenge of collecting accurate information and why the polls don’t always get it right.
