Live with David Nir to chat about Strength In Numbers

I was very kindly joined by David Nir of The Downballot on Tuesday to talk about the (successful, IMO!) launch of Strength In Numbers this week, and give a sneak peek at our first poll publishing tomorrow (Wednesday, May 14).The first few minutes will be familiar to readers because we are giving a wider audience on the Substack App the low-down on what we do here at Strength In Numbers. But the rest will be fresh for you.We talk about:* Why I think data-driven news is more necessary now than ever* Incentives for and against accuracy in political news coverage* How to improve journalism about polling* Why it matters that Donald Trump is unpopular* What’s in store for the first Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll coming out tomorrow…To watch the video from this live conversation, click the play button above.And if you haven’t yet subscribed to The Downballot, you can sign up below: This is a public episode.
