RNZ Interview: Political Polls - Are they worth the hype?

Can you trust a political poll? It's an election year, so political polls will be a common feature in our news feeds. But how reliable are the results, especially as they vary between polls?

RadioNZ's afternoon show featured an interview with Dr Nicole Satherley, lead researcher at iNZight Analytics, discussing what we know about political polls.

Check out the interview here, or at the link below.

iNZight Analytics has also published a summary guide to understanding political poll results, along with a more in-depth guide. Both available on the project page.

This work is part of iNZight Analytics commitment to making data and statistics more accessible to the New Zealand public.
