METHODOLOGY
Political Intelligence is Morning Consult’s proprietary platform that provides real-time polling data on elections, elected officials and voting issues. Morning Consult conducts more than 11,000 daily interviews globally about leadership approval and 5,000 daily interviews with registered voters in the United States, about the presidential and congressional elections.
The daily global survey data is based on a 7-day moving average of all adults in a given country with a margin of error of between +/- 1-3%. All interviews are conducted online, among nationally representative samples of adults. (In India, the sample is representative of the literate population).
Surveys are weighted in each country by age, gender, region, and, in certain countries, education breakdowns based on official government sources. In the United States, surveys are also weighted by race and ethnicity. Respondents complete these surveys in languages appropriate for their countries.
Professional translation firms in each country conduct translation and localisation.
