** A field guide to polling: Election 2020 edition ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Rigorously conducted surveys are trustworthy, as long as you apply a dose of discrimination and are realistic about what polls can and can’t do. But how to sort the “good” polls from the “bad” is considerably trickier ([link removed]) in this age of change and innovation in the polling industry. Our social scientists and methodologists answer key questions and assess the state of the craft.

* A basic question when reading a poll: Does it include or exclude nonvoters? ([link removed])

** Mobile divides in emerging economies ([link removed])

** 5 things to know about Americans and their smart speakers ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
