Workshop on Partisan Criticism ofPublic Opinion ResearchThursday 4:00pm – 5:30pm, Crystal BallroomPresenters & Workshop FacilitatorsJill DarlingUSC Dornsife Center for Economic andSocial ResearchKyley McGeeneyPSB ResearchModern election seasons have been marked by partisan attacks on surveys,as campaigns attempt to undermine the credibility of polls that are notfavorable to their candidate. An unusual aspect of the 2016 Presidentialelection campaign were the widespread accusations that public opinionsurveys were “rigged” to show favorable support for one candidate overanother. The election season included an unprecedented level of misuse,misunderstanding, and attacks on polls and polling, the level of which mayhave worked to undermine the reputation of public opinion research as ascientific and objective field of research.This workshop is based on the near-final report of an AAPOR ad hoccommittee tasked with investigating the issue of partisan attacks on publicopinion research and their potential for impacting our field of research.The report will consist of an overview of the problem and a set ofrecommendations, due to AAPOR council by the end of December. Twomembers, committee chair Jill Darling from the University of SouthernCalifornia, and Kyley McGeeney of PSB, will first present the committee’sdeliberations and findings, then lead attendees through a participatorydiscussion/workshop. Attendees will provide feedback on the ideaspresented, propose new ideas, and deliberate pros and cons ofrecommended approaches. The elements and results of these discussionswill be included as an appendix to the committee’s report.
