Why did many pre-election surveys fail to accurately reflect the senatorial election results? Join Rappler+ to get access to this exclusive virtual briefing, a special edition of 'In The Public Square' with John Nery.

The 2025 senatorial race results upended general predictions, which has led to many questions about how pre-election polls are conducted. How can we make sense of the surveys and what must be changed moving forward to get a better understanding of the pulse of Filipino voters?

Join us for a Rappler+ exclusive virtual discussion in which veteran journalist and In The Public Square host John Nery interviews Pulse Asia president Ronnie Holmes, WR Numero CEO Cleve Arguelles, and OCTA Research president Ranjit Rye about the survey firms’ insights into why pre-election surveys were unable to accurately reflect the senatorial election results.

The discussion will also feature reactions and insights from Nerve head of data Don Kevin Hapal about online conversations and narratives monitored by Rappler and The Nerve.

This virtual event will take place on May 29, Thursday, at 11 am, via Zoom.
