The Future of Polling - Part 1

As we often post the results from our political Real-Time Polling on our site, we thought a couple of posts discussing the current challenges traditional pollsters face and how Eyesover can help solve some of those problems would be in order.

Traditional pollsters face challenges on multiple levels these days. It has always been no easy task to deliver accurate, up-to-date information on the opinions of the public, but in today’s changing society, it has become even more difficult.
​

Although there have been technological advancements in the industry with automated phone calling, which greatly reduced the cost of calling voters across the country, the reality is that 2016 marked the first year where more than 50% of households in the US did not own a landline. Of course, cell phones are increasingly being targeted by the industry, but reaching the owners of these devices poses a significant challenge as well due to the wide range of rapidly improving call-blocking apps available.
​

Even worse for polling companies, the households that still have landlines are increasingly skewing towards those in older age groups. More than seven in ten households under the age of 35 are now cellphone-only. These issues create significant and costly problems in creating a sample that accurately reflects the population, a necessity for accurate polling.
 
Considering these challenges, credit must be given to polling companies that, in-spite-of these adverse conditions, still manage to produce accurate and insightful polls!

But as the landscape of telecommunications changes, we believe polling derived from other sources of information will play a growing role in the industry and we’ll explain why in our next post.
