So excited that @verasight.io is part of this important polling effort! A wonderful validation of the incredible Verasight team!!

I’m overwhelmed that in the span of a few years, @verasight.bsky.social went from an idea to providing data to the leading news networks’ election night coverage. This is an amazing validation of the outstanding team at Verasight and an unwavering commitment to innovation and data quality.

I am very grateful for the positive feedback people have been sending to Strength In Numbers recently. So: From now until Nov. 5, you can get 20% off an annual subscription using the link below. That'll be enough to carry you through the 2026 midterms! www.gelliottmorris.com/electionseason

More great work from @gelliottmorris.com and the @verasight.bsky.social team on synthetic samples. The area where it is probably most enthusiastically embraced is market research ... turns out it doesn't work well for simulating consumer behavior either www.verasight.io/reports/coff...

some more work from me here for the academic crowd interested in "ai polling"

In Verasight’s second synthetic data paper, @gelliottmorris.com, Ben Leff and @peterenns.bsky.social find that the performance of synthetic samples does not consistently improve (and can perform worse) with additional administrative data or real survey responses. Link in the thread.

Awesome seeing @verasight.bsky.social mentioned in Paul Krugman and @gelliottmorris.com's conversation!

#APSA25 by @apsa.bsky.social#APSA25kicked off yesterday in Vancouver. Come find Verasight at booth 213 to: • Add a free question to our omnibus survey • Enter our $250 credit giveaway Looking forward to connecting with fellow researchers.

Didn't catch this until now: Our Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll was mentioned in CNN's coverage of Trump's approach to handling crime www.cnn.com/2025/08/27/p...

Our recent polls have been featured in @cnn.com, @nytimes.com, and by the Governor of California’s office. Our work is also being cited by columnists like @jamellebouie.net to help interpret public sentiment on national issues. We’re proud to support organizations seeking representative insights.

Six members of the Verasight team will be attending #APSA2025, hosted by @apsa.bsky.social‬, from 9/11-9/13 in Vancouver. We’re offering attendees the opportunity to add a free question to our next omnibus survey and be entered into a $250 Verasight credit giveaway. See you there. #APSA25

Read the white paper, it's very well done, but the answer is "no, they do not actually work"

In polling world, “synthetic sampling” (using LLMs to replace human respondents) has been getting a lot of attention recently. Last wk, Ipsos announced a synthetic panel! But does it actually work? Here’s a white paper I wrote: “Your Polls on ChatGPT” report.verasight.io/synthetic-sa...

I’ve been working with @verasight.bsky.social on various AI projects (including this and some other experiments, results TBD) and here’s a standout quote: "Fully one-quarter of executives told us they thought AI systems could replace all or most of their jobs" report.verasight.io/ai-report-ju...

Two pertinent graphs from me tonight... First, U.S. support for bombing Iran is very low — much lower than support was at the time for the American military attacking Afghanistan, Iraq, and ISIS. Link: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/polls-amer...

The "Abundance Agenda" is broadly popular, per our new June Strength In Numbers/ @verasight.bsky.social poll. The exception is for local zoning reforms. Here’s our alternative to the other pretty obviously biased polls floating around on the subject: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-appr...

One huge upside of our independent poll with @verasight.bsky.social : Not having to publish in peer-reviewed journals or sell party strategy means we can publish null effects! We tested economics and immigration messaging. Fx are too small to pick up. More: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-appr...

Excited to see a recent survey of CA voters conducted by Verasight featured in this @politico.com article: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Do most people understand how inflation works? That drops in the inflation rate don't mean drops in prices? 🤔 No. And misunderstanding is significantly associated with vote choice in 2024. Thanks to @verasight.bsky.social and @peterenns.bsky.social for letting me field this question 🙏
