Abstract

The initial predictions presented in this article confirm that presidential candidate vote-share estimates based on AI polling are broadly exchangeable with those of other polling organizations. We present our first two biweekly vote-share estimates for the 2024 US presidential election and benchmark them against those being generated by other polling organizations. Our post-Democratic National Convention top-line estimates for Trump (47%) and Harris (46%) closely track measurements generated by other polls during the month of August. The subsequent early September (post-debate) PoSSUM vote-share estimates for Trump (47%) and Harris (48%) again closely track with other national polling being conducted in the United States. An ultimate test for the PoSSUM polling method will be the final preelection vote-share results that we publish before Election Day on November 5, 2024.
