Thank you for clarity. I highly value your numbers-based commentary and that is where I'll continue to focus my attention, ie. on SIN andhow you apply the polling data.

I like the idea of an independent website dealing with polls, the data associated with those polls and making the underlying data more widely available.

On a separate note, has anyone polled how a settlement of the Gaza war would have on the popularity of Trump or if foreign affairs even has any impact on his popularity?

I'm a bit confused. Will you keep the same charts on the Strength in Numbers site? Or will it die and we have to go to 50+1?? I find the other site very user unfriendly for the non-professional little old lady that loves the simplicity of the current page... all available with one click. 50+1 requires all kinds of clicking and searching to find the easy to read charts... most of which I couldn't find.

So grateful for the important work you're doing - and congratulations on this exciting expansion!

There are a few questions I always wonder about but for which I can't find answers.

Maybe the answers wouldn't be as helpful as I think they would, but here goes:

I think a lot of people disapprove of Trump, but would vote for him - or another Republican - again, rather than for a Democrat. It might be good to get a handle on how big that pool is.

Relatedly, is there any issue or action or principle (on either side) that would sway a Trump voter to consider a Dem candidate? If so, what?

Love and gratitude.

Congrats! Sorry for a critical note here, but it’s only because I am a typography guy and care about your success: you deserve a better logo. The outlined script, in particular, doesn’t reflect the quality or professionalism of your work.

Congratulations Elliott! This is exactly the kind of fresh thinking, intellectual quality/rigor and bold entrepreneurial spirit our current “media” meltdown requires. 👏

I'm glad that there will be a site for reliable data. (I hope the Democratic party gets a subscription!) I'm also glad that SIN will continue its interpretive mission. I'm proud to be a paying member.
