Pollster Pass

Stay up to date with real-time polling averages with Pollster Pass — your go-to source for polling data, approval ratings, and electoral research. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Pollster Pass is designed for iPhone Duo folded or open. Closed, it's a full app on the outer display with vertical tab and tool bars. Open, layouts expand across the inner display: two-column feeds and charts spaced so the fold falls between them, a sidebar for navigation, and room to open a second Pollster Pass window on any race. Unfold mid-race and you stay right where you were. THE WEEKLY BRIEFING, AS A NEWSPAPER Open your Weekly Briefing as a printed-style edition: a cover with the week's top story and contents, then a two-page spread for each race you follow — an article on one page, its chart and key figures on the other, with the spine on the fold. On iPhone it reads as a single scrolling page. MATCHUP Put any race head to head: Democrats on one side, Republicans on the other, each with its polling average, 30-day change, highs and lows. On iPhone Duo the two sides meet at the fold. APPLE INTELLIGENCE SUMMARIES Tap Summarize on the Latest tab for a clear weekly read on the generic ballot, every major approval rating, and the races you follow — each with its number, its 7-day change, and a short plain-language takeaway. Pro users can generate a Weekly Briefing covering every race on their list. All of it runs privately on device with Apple Intelligence and is never sent to a server. A REDESIGNED LATEST TAB A time-aware greeting, an election countdown, 7-Day Trends for the generic ballot and every major approval rating, National Pulse cards, and a Biggest Mover card that spotlights the race or metric that shifted most this month — tap it to go straight to its polls. FOLLOW THE RACES YOU CARE ABOUT Star any race and it lands on your Following list — a personal dashboard with race cards, Watchlist Insights like the closest and most volatile race, a News Pulse card, and Race Watch. Free accounts follow a handful of races; Pro removes the limit. SEAT CHAMBER See the Senate or House as a hemicycle of seats, from safe Democratic to safe Republican, with the majority line marked. On iPhone Duo the chamber fans open as you unfold the phone. POLLING DATA AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Browse the latest polls from top pollsters. Filter by poll type, pollster, subject, and date range. View generic ballot matchups, approval ratings, and primary standings. INTERACTIVE CHARTS Track polling averages over time for the generic ballot, approval ratings, primaries, and the 2026 Senate and House races. See who's gaining momentum and who's falling behind. ELECTORAL COLLEGE, SENATE & HOUSE MAPS Tap any state for its rating and margin. Pro users can build custom predictions, save presets, and edit electoral vote allocations. IN THE NEWS Headlines from major outlets, tagged to the races you follow and shown on Latest, Following, and inside every race. Pro required. HOME SCREEN & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Add widgets for 7-day trends, approval ratings, the generic ballot margin, primary leaders, and the races on your watchlist. PRO FEATURES Upgrade to Pollster Pass Pro to unlock the Weekly Briefing, unlimited Following, extended chart history, the full news feed, advanced search filters, the full map editor, and premium widgets.
