TPM PollTracker
Get up-to-the-minute data on key races for the 2016 presidential campaign, US Senate and governors’ seats, presidential approval, or issues like gun control or same-sex marriage. With PollTracker, you get the data you need—whether that’s an at-a-glance overview of the current situation, or a detailed look at individual polls or polling averages over time.
And with the ability to receive a push notification whenever a new poll is added to a contest you’re following, you’ll never miss an update.
Produced by TPM Media, the parent company of the popular political site Talking Points Memo, the PollTracker app uses TPM’s revolutionary PollTracker aggregation methodology to produce results that are truly forward-looking: they show where the data is going, not just where it's been.
Designed in consultation with renowned polling expert and political scientist Dr. Charles Franklin (University of Wisconsin), TPM’s methodology combines all available public polling into a sophisticated regression analysis.
In short, PollTracker is a must-have app for people who want to stay up-to-date on the political campaigns that are going to shape the country’s future for years to come.

Updates are frequent and timely. The 'My Follow' feature no longer works on the app and I have not been able to get any information on how to fix it. When it was working I would get push notifications to indicate when updated polls were added. (Samsung Galaxy S6)
The maker was on morning Joe on MSNBC saying it's very well redesigned and praising it up and yet it didn't work. Failed to launch then by luck it launched but then loaded nothing. I don't think you should promote an app that has 3.3 stars unless you have an app that works for at least %90 to %99
Buggy Try a search blank screen, change tabs blank screen, review my follows blank screen. I browsed all the polls and added many to my follows and then checked back and only 1 was there. To bad because the visual design is very good.
Good start, but it would be nice to have the ability to sort by closeness of race. Not that interested in polls for solid R or D states/districts.
This app is horrible. ALL NATIONAL POLLS SHOW TRUMP IN THE LEAD THIS MORNING. THIS ONE SHOWS HER LEADING. TELL ME, DEVS, HOW MUCH IS KILLARY PAYING YOU TO LIE?
Retracted my 5 star rave review. Lately I cannot add state polls to the "My Follows" section.
When I first opened it, only the presidential race worked. But trying it again an hour later the other pages had populated. . . . One suggestion, can't tell which polling firm is source for each poll, please include right under the percentages.
US polls on Clinton vs Trump are completely off according to both Rasmussen and Huff Post.
Sometimes push notifies me for the same poll several times in a row.
Whoever updates this app sleeps late and takes long weekends.
No truth within their polls
I am watching the news at the same time as this app and the numbers are not showing up the same.
Does NOTHING useful. Freezes before loading.
Won't launch - fails everytime
...the app abends on startup.
"My Follows" is not working.
I'm glad to finally have this app on Android, however it's got some bugs. It crashes often, and every time I go to "My Follows" I get a message telling me I'm not following any contests. I can see the list of my followed contests load behind this message, but still I get the message every time. Also, for at least one of my followed contests (IL Gov) the Latest Polls just don't show up.
As it stands, the app is buggy, often inaccurate, and borderline useless.
Wouldn't let me follow more than one race at a time. Sometimes I click on a race and it takes me instead to the one race it lets me follow. Will be 5 stars when the bugs are fixed.
Great potential, but buggy, crashes when search is used, otherwise great layout
It would be great if you could include the top 40 house races or even all the house races that have public polling (I know local polling may not fit your methodology but you could post the numbers similar to how you post Zogby polls or put an asterisk next to them). It would also be good to put a trending arrow underneath the percentage number for who is ahead based on the avg polling numbers. I like the ability to expand the polling graph and to get push notifications on certain races (add house races).
I loved the variety of polls you had during the last presidential election season. Please update for this new season!
Trying to stick with this app because it has potential but it's not easy. Way too buggy!
It could use updates so it's more recent polls
Still waiting for a full TPM app
Why didn't I use this in 2012?
Tried it after seeing it on Morning Joe. I was surprised that a black screen is even an app now. After the first five minutes of nothing, I uninstalled it. That, plus the five used to write a review, represents ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back.
None of the searches I made worked. I Uninstalled rather than wait for it to get fixed
Update: I opened the app this morning 6/30 and it worked. Looks like it has potential. It has graphs that make the data more digestible. Can follow specific races. Orig: I get a blank screen on the Samsung 6+ Edge after the logo screen comes up. Please fix!
