2025 Warren J. Mitofsky Award Ceremony and Event

The Board of Directors of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research is pleased to announce Murray Edelman and Joe Lenski as recipients of the 2025 Warren J. Mitofsky Award for Excellence in Public Opinion Research.

The 2025 Mitofsky Award event will be hosted by the Associated Press in New York City on Thursday, November 13th from 6-8pm. The event is the primary fundraising activity hosted by the Roper Center Board of Directors. Funds raised are allocated specifically to support the enrichment of the archive and the cultivation of diversity and scholarship within the field of public opinion polling. Please note: In an effort to direct more of the event’s proceeds to the work of the Roper Center and to encourage the attendance of students and early career professionals, this year’s event will feature music, cocktails, and appetizers, but not dinner. We will end by 8pm so those who want will be free to make dinner plans afterwards.

This year's award recognizes Murray Edelman and Joe Lenski’s distinguished individual careers and contributions to the field, including their joint work with Warren Mitofsky on exit polling and election analysis. R ead Full Announcement
