Analyzed responses from a 2024 election survey of Black Americans that oversampled groups often underrepresented in polling, including Black men and Black Republicans. Used BERTopic to uncover themes in open-ended responses and HDBSCAN to identify voter subpopulations associated with socioeconomic factors such as income, employment, education, religion, and organizational membership. Used Splink to probabilistically link survey respondents with L2 voter records, enriching the survey data and assessing its accuracy.
