Computational Journalism Research Project (Spring Week 5)

The Huffington Post - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

News/blog site, it’s somewhat left-leaning in viewpoints, overall good site with just a hair of clickbait-y flavor to it.

Their “Huffpost Pollster” section has a wealth of political polls with near-daily updates on many of them. An effective way to keep up to date on the numbers.


Politifact - http://www.politifact.com/

Quick, checking of political statements and accuracy. Very well put together, allows for quick and spontaneous fact checking on political statements. Seems politically neutral.


Five Thirty Eight - http://fivethirtyeight.com/

Lots and lots of opinion polls. Focuses on politics, economics, and sports. Has detailed interactive graphs and charts to display the polling information.

Lot to work with here, they not only show the data but add noted for why said data is significant.


Real Clear Politics - http://www.realclearpolitics.com/

Shows wide diversity of polls, and also shows how much a poll number has changed since last check. Very easy to see trends with data.
