@DDOTDC really dangerous situation at 5th and NY NW where pedestrians crossing NY are getting walk signal while traffic on NY still has green light

@aedwardslevy Nothing like a good old fashioned defenestration to liven up a conference.

and that was how I got thrown out of a window at AAPOR

This is a great job if you care about understanding and communicating the what/how/why of public opinion and behavior. Reach out with questions!

@aedwardslevy @jennagiesta @AshleyKirzinger @EmGusk And of course, "lol nothing matters."

@EL_Swan @jennagiesta @AshleyKirzinger @EmGusk I realize this is not the intention of the survey, but I really think we should consider adding "?" and "!" as standard response options

I got called for a survey for my cable provider and the interviewer is super enthusiastic, keeps referring to me by my name and also "love," in somehow a not weird way because he's so excited to read me the response options. Just a delightful survey experience.

@AshleyKirzinger @RuthIgielnik @jennagiesta @EmGusk The first one just about made me break out in hives as a former phone interviewer, especially after literally 30 minutes of detailed questions about drug use and mental health.

@jennagiesta @AshleyKirzinger @EmGusk Also had some issues with the questionnaire design

@jennagiesta @AshleyKirzinger @EmGusk I did that one! I left it very concerned about respondent fatigue, especially among those with extensive history of drug use.

@aedwardslevy Yay congratulations!

Some professional news! I’m joining CNN as polling and election analytics editor. Excited to get back to telling stories about who we are, how we live, and what we think and believe about the current events unfolding around us.
