Analysis / Bias
In review, Morning Consult conducts research and surveys for businesses and media outlets using a scientific methodology. The process used is called stratified sampling, a sampling method from a population, which can be partitioned into subpopulations. Morning Consult has been praised for accuracy; for example, they predicted Hillary Clinton would win the popular vote by 3%. She won by 2.1%, which was comfortably within the margin of error. FiveThirtyEight, a company that rates pollsters for accuracy and bias, gives Morning Consult a B- for accuracy and a slight leftward bias of 0.6%.
Morning Consult also has a news section that is centered around polling and trends. Typically, there is minimal bias presented such as this: Detroit Debates Deliver Meager Returns for Biden’s Challengers. Further, they typically stray from opinion pieces and focus on evidence-based reporting.
