In the Public Square: Making sense of the surveys

The surprising results of the 2025 elections have focused public attention on the pre-election surveys. Did they in fact call it wrong? Do they influence voters and condition minds? What role should surveys play in democratic elections?

In this episode of In The Public Square, Rappler columnist John Nery is joined by three survey group presidents: Pulse Asia president Ronald Holmes, OCTA Research president Ranjit Rye, and WR Numero Research president Cleve Arguelles. Don Kevin Hapal, head of data of Nerve, Rappler’s partner data forensics company, also joins the conversation.
