Early polls can offer some insight into candidates’ weak points – but are extremely imprecise

Preelection polls have been inescapable early in the 2024 election year, setting storylines, as they invariably do, for journalists and pundits about the race for the presidency.

Key Points: 
  • Preelection polls have been inescapable early in the 2024 election year, setting storylines, as they invariably do, for journalists and pundits about the race for the presidency.
  • At the same time, the polls have delivered reminders that they can be less than precise indicators of outcomes — as was evident in January’s Republican caucus in Iowa and primary in New Hampshire.
  • Although Trump won both states handily, the outcomes signaled anew that polls, however ubiquitous, are best treated warily.

Contradictory polls

  • The early-in-2024 polls assessing a presumptive rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden have broadly signaled a close race, while on occasion presenting whiplash-inducing, contradictory indications.
  • Whiplash results can stem from differences in how pollsters conduct their surveys and how they analyze and statistically adjust their findings.
  • His popular-vote margin in 2020 was 4.5 points, in what overall was the worst performance by polls since 1980.

Why pay any attention to polls?

  • The gap in the recent CNN and Quinnipiac poll results gives rise to an important question: Why, at such an early moment in the campaign, should voters pay any attention to preelection surveys?
  • When considered collectively, however, polls can offer intriguing insights about a developing race, some of which are apparent only in hindsight.
  • On Feb. 29, 2012, Barack Obama led Republican contender Mitt Romney by 4 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
  • So it’s prudent not to over-interpret survey results reported early in the campaign, however accurate they may prove to be.

Will the polls get it right in 2024?

  • Outcomes in those and other swing states in November could determine who wins the presidency — much as they did in 2020.
  • It’s certainly “a live issue” whether the polls will get it right in 2024, as an academic journal article noted not long ago.
  • As I write in “Lost in a Gallup,” discrepancies between polling results and presidential election outcomes can have unsettling effects.
