Wisconsin and Michigan Primary Upsets Trigger Reviews of Polling Accuracy

Discrepancies between polling data and actual results in Wisconsin and Michigan have raised concerns about the reliability of current forecasting methods. These upsets occurred despite consistent leads for other candidates in the weeks leading up to the vote. The failure of both traditional polls and prediction markets to capture late-stage shifts in voter sentiment has prompted a formal autopsy by industry experts. Researchers are investigating whether methodological limits or sampling errors contributed to the inaccuracy of the primary forecasts.
