Election Polling in the Battleground States
Melissa Herrmann, President, SSRS | Chintan Turakhia, Executive Vice President, SSRS | Jennifer Agiesta, CNN Politics Polling Director
The divided results between the Electoral College and the popular vote in the 2016 U.S. presidential race made clear that national polling alone would not tell the full story of American elections. CNN has always conducted extensive state-level polling in election years. The presentation looked at how CNN and SSRS are focusing on battleground states within national polling in 2020, creating a more complete picture of public opinion throughout the campaign.
