How Media Track Who is “Winning”

Pre-Election Event:

How do media track who is “winning” in the race for the presidency? Experts on political communication, public opinion, and election polls will discuss what we know, and what is knowable, as the 2024 election approaches. This is the first in a two-part, pre-election series, “Breaking News, Building Democracy,” sponsored by the University of Michigan Department of Communication and Media and the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research. Speakers: Kathleen Searles (University of South Carolina), David Wilson (UC Berkeley), Chris Jackson (Senior Vice President at IPSOS, lead of US Polling), Josh Pasek (University of Michigan, CPS)
