Ben Domenech:2020年大选结果显示,共和党在州议会和众议院表现出色,但在总统选举中表现不佳。这引发了人们对美国政治体系未来走向的思考。 David Shor:2020年大选结果显示,拜登险胜特朗普,如果拜登得票率再低0.3%,特朗普将以48%的得票率赢得连任。这表明美国政治局势非常胶着。民主党可以通过增加州份、禁止党派划分选区和关注对大学毕业的自由派和一些工薪阶层保守派都有吸引力的议题来改善其长期前景。 David Shor:民调的准确性一直存在问题,2020年和2016年民调的失误率尤其高。这与技术进步导致的响应率下降以及样本偏差有关。此外,民调行业存在人员构成偏差,多数从业人员为自由派,这可能导致问题设计偏差,从而影响民调结果。 David Shor:如果能问一个问题就能了解每次选举周期中选民的思想,那就是意识形态。2020年民调失误的主要原因是参与调查的人群构成发生了重大变化,自由派,特别是白人自由派,对疫情封锁措施的重视程度高于其他群体,导致他们更积极地参与调查,从而影响了民调结果。
