Smerconish Poll Questions vs Reality: The Hits, Misses, and One HUGE Fail

from The Smerconish Podcast · host Michael Smerconish, TC Cannon

What happens when you go back and check your predictions against reality? In this episode, after touching on the latest on what's happening in Iran, Michael revisits years of Smerconish.com daily poll questions—from elections and political figures to global conflicts—and asks a simple question: Did we get it right? The results are surprising. Some predictions feel spot-on, others… not so much. From early takes on Biden and Trump to reactions after major global events, this episode is a fascinating look at collective wisdom, hindsight, and how public opinion evolves over time. Plus: one poll result that was wildly off the mark. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
