I'm a UChicago student studying computational social science. I have a couple friends working at the NORC and I can say that, as someone who spends every day reading and criticizing studies done over the internet or with machine learning, the NORC always amazes me with their quality. Every time I get frustrated with some vaguely racist/dehumanizing social science paper I go read whatever is on NORC's home page to calm down.
Why not just wait two months though? The timing makes it impossible to not be suspicious, after all “this is the most important election in the history of our nation.”
