Live with David Nir to chat about Strength In Numbers

We talk about this week's big launch, our new poll partnership with Verasight, and the future of political journalism

I was very kindly joined by David Nir of The Downballot on Tuesday to talk about the (successful, IMO!) launch of Strength In Numbers this week, and give a sneak peek at our first poll publishing tomorrow (Wednesday, May 14).

The first few minutes will be familiar to readers because we are giving a wider audience on the Substack App the low-down on what we do here at Strength In Numbers. But the rest will be fresh for you.

We talk about:

  • Why I think data-driven news is more necessary now than ever

  • Incentives for and against accuracy in political news coverage

  • How to improve journalism about polling

  • Why it matters that Donald Trump is unpopular

  • What’s in store for the first Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll coming out tomorrow…
