In this project, my team used statistical methods to analyze trends in US voting demographics during the 2020 US presidential election and answer the following questions:
- Are Democratic voters older or younger than Republican voters in 2020?
- Are Democratic voters more enthusiastic about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris?
- Are survey respondents who have had someone in their home infected by COVID-19 more likely to disapprove of the way their governor is handling the pandemic?
