The U.S. presidential election is 189 days away…
On Nov. 5, election officials across America will count more than 150 million ballots to answer a burning political question: Who will be president of the United States? Until then, the best signals we can get will mostly come from public opinion polls, which will be the fuel of endless debate on who has the lead, Democrat Joe Biden or Republican Donald Trump. But what do polls really tell us? Like a picture from a weather satellite, a poll can be pretty good at telling you what people think right now. It’s much harder to tell what people will be doing weeks or months from now.
SAMPLE SIZE
Some polls ask a few hundred people what they think. Others ask several thousand. The number of people surveyed is called the sample size. A big sample is like having more pixels in a digital photo. The more people surveyed, the clearer the picture.

BBC correspondent records mass burial as 80 bodies returned to Gaza
BBC Arabic’s Adnan El-Bursh was reporting from Gaza when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) handed about 80 bodies to the Palestinian authorities there in December.
The Israeli military said it had taken them from Gaza to Israel so they could be checked to see if there were any hostages among them.
Our reporter captured the moment in a video diary as the remains were buried in a mass grave in a cemetery in Rafah in southern Gaza. He describes the “awful” sight and smell.

2024 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
WASHINGTON (AP) — An election-year roast of President Joe Biden before journalists, celebrities and politicians at the annual White House correspondents’ dinner Saturday butted up against growing public discord over the Israel-Hamas war, with protests outside the event condemning both Biden’s handling of the conflict and the Western news’ media coverage of it.
Watch the event in the player above
Biden, like most of his predecessors, used the glitzy annual White House Correspondents’ Association banquet to jab at his rival, Donald Trump. He followed the jokes with solemn warnings about what he said would happen if Trump won the presidency again.
With hundreds of protesters rallying against the war in Gaza outside the event and concerns over the conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the perils for journalists covering the conflict, the war hung over this year’s event. But speakers inside made only passing mention of the conflict despite some having to run a gauntlet of demonstrators. Biden’s speech, which lasted around 10 minutes, made no mention of the ongoing war or the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
