Election Polls on Social Media: Prevalence, Biases, and Voter Fraud Beliefs

Published in International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM), 2024

We leverage demographic inference and statistical analysis, finding that Twitter polls are disproportionately authored by older males, exhibit a large bias towards candidate Donald Trump relative to representative mainstream polls, and contain inconsistencies between public vote counts and those privately visible to poll authors.

Analyzing Support for U.S. Presidential Candidates in Twitter Polls

Published in Journal of Quantitative Description (JQD:DM) and the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM), 2024

We characterize social polls online and leverage machine learning models to describe the demographics, political leanings, and other characteristics of the users who author and interact with social polls. We study the relationship between social poll results, their attributes, and the characteristics of users interacting with them.
