Regardless of where one falls on the political spectrum, the fascinating 2024 presidential and congressional elections will continue to be studied by historians and political scientists a century from today. Interesting fact: this was the first time since 1892 that a former president who previously lost a reelection bid was later elected president again.

With the results now in, MCAA was excited to discuss this election with one of the nation’s premier thought leaders and political data experts, Karlyn Bowman. In this previously recorded webinar, Karlyn shares with MCAA members her unique perspective on the events leading up to the election, the data tracked on Election Day, and where the nation may be headed politically.

Karlyn Bowman, Senior Fellow Emeritus at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), helped launch AEI’s work on public opinion in the late 1970s. In 1982, she started “Election Watch,” the longest-running political analysis program in Washington. She continues to compile and analyze American public opinion using available polling data on subjects including the economy, the presidency, the environment and global warming, and women’s attitudes.
