How do polls predict political races? Anthony Salvanto, the political scientist who announces the projected winners on election nights at CBS News offers an insider’s take what the numbers reveal about Americans’ views on politicians and hot-button issues. Salvanto discusses the controversial 2016 US presidential election, voter turnout, increasing partisanship and economic disparity, and Americans’ thoughts on health care and immigration. Though a book focused on statistics might sound dull, Salvanto leverages fun metaphors to illustrate the way polling works and how it applies to politics.
