Critics Say Accuracy Of Political Polls Is Waning

This campaign season, more political polls are being used. But some wonder why that’s the case, even as critics say their effectiveness and accuracy seem to be on the wane.

The topic is the focus of a story in a recent New Yorker magazine called "Politics and the New Machine." A local expert in this field, Mike O’Neil of O’Neil Associates, spoke about the issue.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
