In our October Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll, 53% of adults opposed Trump's strikes on Venezuelan boats and only 33% supported. (I imagine support for a full war, and this blockade, would be even lower.) www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-v...

For the historical polling nerds out there, an article about our project with @ropercenter.bsky.social that digitised ~800 surveys by Gallup poll in Britain between 1955 and 1991 has been published in JEPOP. The merged dataset contains over three-quarters of a million respondents.

When public opinion shifted, the court usually followed. In their LA Times op ed, our co founder & chief data scientist @peterenns.bsky.social & Patrick Wohlfarth show that this pattern no longer holds under Chief Justice Roberts, marking a statistically rare & consequential break from past courts.
Contributor: When did the Supreme Court stop caring about public opinion?
The court has historically understood the perils of completely ignoring precedent and the will of the people. Chief Justice John Roberts is different.

We are proud to share a new op-ed in the LA Times by our co-founder and chief data scientist, @peterenns.bsky.social, written with Patrick Wohlfarth. Drawing on decades of data, they show how this departure has contributed to declining confidence in the court.

Under Chief Justice Roberts the relationship has turned negative, with Supreme Court decisions moving opposite public opinion.

Working with @verasight.io, this will be the most comprehensive assessment of perceptions and perspectives on an important policy issue in the state. Our survey design allows us to reach more granular descriptions of residents' perceptions of energy policy than have been possible previously.

At the start of the term, voters seemed skeptical of the “iron rule” of midterm loss. More recent data from @verasight.io paints a more complex picture. Check out our (@marystegmaier.bsky.social & Mike Lewis-Beck) new piece @center4politics.bsky.social

Great to see the new poll from @gelliottmorris.com / @verasight.bsky.social: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-v...
New poll: Voters want Democrats to win in NJ, VA and in 2026, as they push back on Trump
Plus: Voters trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy; a majority of voters say Trump is acting above the law; and 62% say the country is off on the wrong track

More great work from @gelliottmorris.com and the @verasight.bsky.social team on synthetic samples. The area where it is probably most enthusiastically embraced is market research ... turns out it doesn't work well for simulating consumer behavior either www.verasight.io/reports/coff...
