Presented work with the great Javier Márquez at @WAPOR! Where do citizens draw the line on democratic violations? Is it the same across countries? Can we compare their answers?

This matters because tolerance for these acts is a key DV in backsliding research! #WAPOR2026

📊 Los datos son una herramienta clave para comprender mejor la #migación y responder a sus desafíos y oportunidades.

Por ello, desde la OIM acompañamos la presentación del Global Report on Important Topics, una iniciativa de @WAPOR elaborada por @CIDE_MX y Data OPM, que recoge mil personas en 41 países sobre temas relacionados con la migración.

La evidencia contribuye a diseñar políticas y acciones más efectivas para avanzar hacia una migración segura, ordenada y regular. 🩵 🤝🏽

In town for @WAPOR !

My closing words - "We need standards, we need regulations, but only professional regulations, preferably on a national level. We don’t want government regulations. We also do not want over-regulation by anyone because over-regulation is often used to serve political purposes."

This week, I presented my paper "Disinformation and the Erosion of Democratic Quality: A Multidimensional Approach" at the @WAPOR Conference in Mexico City, in a panel organized by @griselsr (IBERO CDMX).

Thank you, @WAPOR, for highlighting Pablo Lemoine’s contribution. Protecting rigorous, independent public opinion research is essential to ensuring that reliable evidence remains accessible to society.

#LasEncuestas El futuro de las encuestas.

Con agradecimiento a jóvenes estudiantes de la UNAM y el ITAM por su apoyo en la 79ª conferencia anual de @WAPOR en CDMX.

@NOIPolls at the 79th Annual WAPOR Conference, Mexico City. 🇳🇬 🇲🇽

The warmth and hospitality of Mexico City have been matched by intellectual depth and rich discussions at the 79th Annual @WAPOR Conference.

Bringing together international researchers, survey practitioners, onal representatives, the conference has provided an important platform for exploring the evolving role of public opinion in a rapidly changing global landscape.

From discussions on legal restrictions affecting public opinion research to hands-on workshops anchored by Diana Zavala-Rojas, Fransico Olivos, methodological advancements research in survey sampling in the digital age, advances in survey methods in the global south, and exchanges on emerging issues, the conference has highlighted the importance of credible and context-sensitive research in understanding citizens' perspectives.

With over 300 papers to be presented, the gathering has created valuable opportunities to challenge assumptions, share knowledge, explore new methodologies, and promote collaborations across research communities.

@NOIPolls is contributing to these conversations through two research papers that examine public opinion in Nigeria, focusing on foreign policy and democracy. These studies bring Nigerian perspectives into broader discussions about international relations, democratic governance, and the place of public opinion in an emerging multipolar world order. As global political and economic relationships continue to evolve, it is increasingly important that perspectives from Nigeria and the wider Global South are meaningfully represented in international research and policy conversations.

1/6 At #WAPOR2026, our plenary roundtable on Polling Under Pressure examined how legal restrictions and political pressure affect the freedom to conduct and publish public opinion research. A shared concern across borders, with consequences for democracy.

5/6 Robert Chung (@Robert_TY_CHUNG), of @hk_pori, recalled @WAPOR’s support for colleagues under pressure worldwide. He called for professional standards and warned that excessive regulation can serve political purposes.

6/6 Protecting independent polling means defending the conditions that allow researchers to ask questions, gather evidence and publish findings. Professional standards and international solidarity are central to that responsibility. #WAPOR2026 #PublicOpinion
