Midterm elections can be dreadfully boring, unfortunately.

When you get into statistical analysis, you don't really expect to achieve fame. Or to become an Internet meme. Or be parodied by 'The Onion' - or be the subject of a cartoon in 'The New Yorker.' I guess I'm kind of an outlier there.

On average, people should be more skeptical when they see numbers. They should be more willing to play around with the data themselves.

We're not that much smarter than we used to be, even though we have much more information - and that means the real skill now is learning how to pick out the useful information from all this noise.

I have to think about how to not spread myself too thin. It's a really great problem to have.

I think there's space in the market for a half-dozen kind of polling analysts.

Accountability doesn't mean apologizing.
