On the front page of newspapers around the country. Slowly crawling along the ticker of cable news channels. Blasted out on social media at an increasingly rapid rate. As the 2024 presidential election draws closer, political poll information has become truly ubiquitous. But prevalence and accuracy are two entirely different things, says 91制片厂 expert Andrew Smith. And he recommends employing a healthy dose of skepticism when viewing poll results ahead of the big day. We all 鈥渨ant to know what the score is,鈥� Smith admits, and polls are an easily digestible and readily available medium.

New Hampshire 鈥� which has held the first primary in each presidential cycle dating back to 1920 鈥� has remained firm in its position that it would not budge from the first spot, citing a state law that went into effect more than 40 years ago.
