Polling in the Age of Trump: A Panel Discussion with Doug Sosnik, John Anzalone, and Jim McLaughlin

The Institute of Politics and the Center for Public Leadership invites you to a panel discussion on Polling in the Age of Trump, examining how public opinion research has evolved amid polarization, distrust, and rapid political change. 


Featuring three of the nation’s most experienced pollsters and political strategists—Doug Sosnik, John Anzalone, and Jim McLaughlin—the conversation will explore what polling gets right, where it falls short, and how campaigns, media, and the public should interpret survey data today. Drawing on decades of experience advising presidents, governors, and major institutions across the political spectrum, the panelists will offer an inside look at how data, messaging, and voter behavior are shaping modern American politics.
