ECU Lifelong Learning Program

Can We Trust the Polls???

Join us tomorrow in the Willis Auditorium at 10:30 AM

From the Literary Digest poll that incorrectly had Alf Landon defeating Franklin Roosevelt in 1936 to the “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline of 1948 and Donald Trump’s surprise win in 2016, election polls have had some big misses. This short course looks at why those mistakes happened, how polling methods evolved over time, and why polls can still be off today. You will also learn what to look for in a good poll – how to tell which polls are trustworthy, which are not, and how to read election polls with a sharper eye as the 26 campaign unfolds.

Discover the right care, right when you need it. Aging brings new opportunities and challenges - especially when it comes to health, safety, and daily living.
