Social science takes spotlight bow in election

Polls, and pollsters, took a star turn on this year’s election night, calling the presidential election days ahead of the outcome. …

Polling expert Jon Krosnick of Stanford University called it, “a victory for survey research. The surveys accurately anticipated the election outcomes, just as they routinely have in recent decades.”

Good for pollsters then, but what about the other social scientists who study elections? [cont.]
