Election polling for the 21st century
Dr. Edward Freeland, director of the Survey Research Center at Princeton University and a Lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, will discuss the history of political polling in the U.S. and talk about some of the newest trends and technologies at a free lecture at 7 p.m. at the Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System.
The lecture will include how pollsters predict who is a “likely” voter, adapt to the growth of the “cell-phone-only” population, conduct Internet surveys, and predict the outcome of the presidential election using results pooled from hundreds of statewide polls. A question-and-answer period will follow the formal presentation.
This event is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Lawrence Township and the Friends of the Lawrence Library. Refreshments will be served. Registration is suggested. Call 609-989-6920 or email lawprogs@mcl.org
