I reviewed @ajtfosp's impressive book, A Tolerance for Inequality, for @PSQuarterly: academic.oup.com/psq/article/do…. I agree w/ most of Taylor’s claims, and offer additional evidence that political scientists have incorrectly concluded that policymakers ignore the economic middle.

“The other thing to know about this is that it is a massive sample of voters. This is all 50 states, and it's more than 100,000 people.”

The vote is a powerful expression of popular will. In this week's election, tens of millions of Americans made a choice about who would represent them and which way the country should go.

At SSRS, we are proud to have produced The Voter Poll by SSRS™. We spoke with 100,000 voters to add detail to that expression of popular will, so that it shows who voted, what mattered to them, and why they chose as they did. A great deal of work by many people went into producing the most rigorous and comprehensive snapshot of the electorate ever.

We want to acknowledge and appreciate the incredible care, time, and investment dedicated to the election by our media partners: @ABC, @AP, @CBSNews, @CNN, @FoxNews, @NBCNews, and @MSNOWNews. They use this data to help the public understand the election, and without them, these voices would largely go unheard.

We are grateful to our data collection partners, @verasight_data & @Survey160. This field is always at its best when we work together, and their contribution during this program is a testament to that spirit.

Throughout this election, our community conducted excellent work, and for decades it has produced the scholarship and expertise that underlies The Voter Poll. Your research continues to provide examples, support, and guidance for those of us in the field. Thank you.

Thank you to Erin Maybin of the Natural Hairstyle & Braid Coalition and Sara Neequaye for stopping by the Verasight booth at the @PublicHealth Annual Meeting and Expo.

They submitted a question for the Verasight APHA 2026 Omnibus Survey asking U.S. adults whether they would feel comfed hair stylist, braider, or barber pointed out early scalp or skin changes and recommended they see a health care professional or dermatologist.

The expo is open today until 4:00 PM Central. Stop by Booth 1030 to submit your own FREE question on a nationally representative survey of 1,000 U.S. adults.

Last year, APHA attendees submitted free questions to the Verasight APHA 2025 Omnibus Survey. This week, results from one of those questions were featured in a poster presentation at APHA 2026.

Congratulations to Sue Wolf-Fordham of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health "When Concerns Go Unheard," a poster on Patient- and Family-Activated Rapid Response Teams as a disability advocacy and patient safety strategy. It draws on a question that asked 1,000 U.S. adults what information would help them feel comfortable and confident calling a Rapid Response Team for a hospitalized family member.

The top three answers (respondents could select all that apply):

1. 72% said knowing exactly how to call the Rapid Response Team, such as what number to dial.

2. 69% said understanding when it is appropriate to call.

3. 58% said knowing that calls are taken seriously and acted on quickly.

Attending the @PublicHealth Annual Meeting and Expo? Stop by Booth 1030 today until 4:00 PM Central to submit your own FREE question for this year's survey.
