Election data literacy tool

Poll Credibility Checker

A pollster you have never heard of just dropped a surprising number. Before you retweet it, run it through this eight-question rubric based on how analysts at FiveThirtyEight, AAPOR, and campaign war rooms vet unknown outfits.

The case that inspired this tool: Wedgwood Polls

A new pollster with a legit-looking website, "passable" online-panel methodology, and exactly one prior release (a Louisiana Senate runoff). Legit newcomer or a flood-the-zone operation? Click "Load Wedgwood example" to see how it scores with what is publicly known.
