Polls Are a Snapshot: What to Remember During US Midterms

Original: Polls are a snapshot, and other helpful things to remember during the midterm elections

NPR is reminding readers that election polls are snapshots of opinion at a single moment, not predictions of final results, as the United States holds its midterm elections. The guidance comes as voters and commentators parse a flood of survey data and forecasts, with journalists urging caution about margins of error, late shifts in voter sentiment, and the limits of polling in close races.

Why now: Voters are following a wave of poll coverage during the midterm elections and want help interpreting it.
