PollTracker app for iPhone and iPad

Washington, DC by the numbers

The 2016 elections are upon us. With Talking Points Memo’s PollTracker app—one of the top apps from the 2012 and 2014 election seasons—you’ll have the very latest information about the political campaigns everyone’s going to be talking about, right at your fingertips.

Get up-to-the-minute data on key races for the 2016 presidential campaign, US Senate and governors’ seats, presidential approval, or issues like gun control or same-sex marriage. With PollTracker, you get the data you need—whether that’s an at-a-glance overview of the current situation, or a detailed look at individual polls or polling averages over time.

And with the ability to receive a push notification whenever a new poll is added to a contest you’re following, you’ll never miss an update.

Produced by TPM Media, the parent company of the popular political site Talking Points Memo, the PollTracker app uses TPM’s revolutionary PollTracker aggregation methodology to produce results that are truly forward-looking: they show where the data is going, not just where its been.

Designed in consultation with renowned polling expert and political scientist Dr. Charles Franklin (University of Wisconsin), TPM’s methodology combines all available public polling into a sophisticated regression analysis.

In short, PollTracker is a must-have app for people who want to stay up-to-date on the political campaigns that are going to shape the country’s future for years to come.
