About Election Eve Notes

Election Eve Notes is a small independent site that explains election eve polling as a method: what such a poll is, how it differs from an exit poll, how voters are sampled and what a margin of sampling error means.

In November 2020 this address published the results of a national election eve poll. That project has ended and its pages are gone. This site is not the 2020 American Election Eve Poll. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the organizations that sponsored, fielded or published that poll, and it does not speak for them.

What you will not find here

• No poll results, tables or downloads, from 2020 or any other year.
• No view on parties or candidates.
• No staff pages, press office or sign-up.

How the notes are sourced

Every figure on these pages describes a method, never who led, and links to the public page it comes from: the U.S. Census Bureau, a professional association for survey research, a university repository or a research center. If a link breaks, the figure goes.

For the 2020 results themselves, go to the organizations that ran the poll or to the news and research articles that cited it.
