How this tracker works
- Polls. Every national poll of this question we can find, each linked to its source: the pollster’s release (listed by VoteHub, CC BY 4.0) or Wikipedia’s poll tables (CC BY-SA 4.0, linked to the exact revision read).
- Average. Each pollster counts once (its latest poll in the last 60 days). Polls are weighted by sample size, recency (half-life 14 days) and a half weight for partisan sponsors. At least 3 pollsters, or no number is shown. We never average other sites’ averages. Margin of error is computed from the sample size (95%, worst case).
- Automation. New polls arrive nightly and publish automatically only when they pass our checks; anything unusual waits for a person. See the methodology.
- Not a verified release. Pollsters not yet verified by staff are included and labelled on pollsters. Model
national-tracker-1.0.0 (aggregate-v1.0.0 inputs: latest poll per pollster).
