Median Strategies exists because pollsters on both sides, and plenty claiming to be neither side, have been getting it wrong. We are not here to serve a campaign or push a narrative. We are here to get the numbers right, publish our methods, and let the data speak for itself, even when that is inconvenient for everyone watching.
A median is resistant to outliers in a way an average is not.
That is the standard we hold ourselves to: numbers that reflect the real center of public opinion, not numbers pulled toward whoever is paying or whoever we want to see win.
