Sorry folks, this site has lost its appeal. This place has been overrun by bots and fake accounts ... not to mention people with the most vile comments. If you need to get a hold of me then head over to bsky.app/profile/rchapoco.bs…. That is where I will be.

Ann Selzer is leaving election polling--importantly, a decision she had reached even before her last bombshell poll for the Des Moines Register showed Harris ahead in Iowa (as it turned out Trump won Iowa). Her commitment to truth and accuracy continues.

I'm tempted to just bite the bullet and pay for the blue check because my feed is inundated with ads for lab-grown diamonds and erectile dysfunction meds.

In the election’s aftermath, we recognize that readers may be disaffected from journalism that they perceive as by and for elites.
At EHRP, we believe that one of the best ways to counter that (broad) perception is by providing reporting by, for and about working class people.
