×Obesity and heart disease rates in America increased by almost 200% between 1999 and 2020. While obesity is one of several conditions linked to heart disease, it is the primary driver of this increase. Americans say they think it's a big problem, but far fewer think it's a problem for them personally. Then, everyone knows that Valentines Day is full of romance... assuming everything goes right! From bad hygiene to dodging the check, what qualities do Americans seek in a partner... and which sends them running? Finally, do people include their pets in their Valentine's Day plans? Find out in this week's lovable fun fact!…
Many Americans feel unprepared when it comes to managing their money. Are schools not teaching enough, or do we all need to be doing a little more? With Super Bowl Sunday approaching, our latest national poll takes a closer look at sports betting. Mobile betting is booming, but is it a win or a risk for Americans and the world of sports? We wrap it all up with a fun fact that might sting for some fans. Do people actually watch football games outside of the playoffs and the Super Bowl?…
In the 2024 federal elections, candidates spent a staggering $3 billion, but does all that money truly influence voter decisions? We talk with UCLA Law Professor Rick Hasen about the role of campaign cash in politics and examine whether public financing initiatives are making a positive difference. Then, are we becoming too connected... or not connected enough? We explore the shifting attitudes surrounding global ties, national priorities, and how personal experiences, like travel, shape our views on interconnectedness and America's role on the world stage. Finally, from cozy kitchens to comfy living rooms, we're uncovering America's favorite spot at home. Where does your go-to space stack up?…

President Trump's recent tidal wave of Executive Orders has sparked a lot of debate among some in Washington, but will Americans care about his pardoning the January 6th insurrectionists or trying to end more than a century of birthright citizenship? There's mixed evidence. Loyalty programs were once hailed as a win-win for businesses and consumers, but now they are facing increasing skepticism. While many people still rely on them for rewards and discounts, younger generations seem less interested in traditional loyalty models. Finally, Beer Can Appreciation Day brings us back to a 1945 poll that captured a unique moment in American history.…

As the Trump administration prepares to take office, Americans are (still) divided on key issues. From Trump's mass deportation plans to his possible pardons of convicted January 6th insurrectionists, we're going deep into the data from our latest poll with NPR and PBS News. We're also exploring how America's relationship with alcohol is changing. Could Dry January signal a broader trend towards sobriety in America, and what is driving this trend? And, we dug deep into our time capsule for this week's Fun Fact! What European country did Americans want to visit...in 1937?!?…
Recently, The New York Times ran a feature "How Top Pollsters Grade 2024’s Polls" that included Lee's analysis (and a sweet cartoon drawing of the legend himself!) and reached the conclusion, the polls were pretty damn accurate in 2024 despite the fact that most had Kamala Harris winning by a narrow margin. We discuss whether that's just wishful thinking or whether expectations have far outstripped what polls can do in our deeply 50-50 political world. We follow with a segment discussing our latest poll results on the state of American democracy. We've been asking Americans about this for a few years and, this time Americans are the most hopeful they've been since the January 6th insurrection. And yet, a large majority are still worried. Finally, should any American make more money than the president? If that question seems odd, perhaps that's because it's from 1939!…
So-called May-December romances have been a standard feature in literature and movies...and life...forever. There are plenty of reasons for this but recently data has shown the age gaps narrowing. What's behind the change? Cognitive psychologist Dr. Haley Moss Dillon joins us to help us figure it out. Before we get to that, though, we always do an end-of-year poll with some fun holiday questions and a bit more serious ones about what Americans are thinking going into the next year. And our final fun fact for 2024...and the last in our three-month stretch of themed fun facts...brings us the things we DON'T like about the holiday season. Because it's not all sweets, treats, and gifts!…
This week on Poll Hub, we take a peek behind the curtain of our latest national poll to find out how voters are feeling post-election. Do they like Trump's transition actions so far? What about Biden's pardon of his son Hunter? Then, Dr. D. Graham Burnett of Princeton, The Strother School of Radical Attention , and by extension, the Friends of Attention , joins us to dig into the science behind our shrinking attention spans. Researchers were hopeful that media would have a positive effect, but data seems to indicate the opposite. Is pie the MVP of the holiday season, or is it time to give something else a chance? You won't want to miss our *seasonal* fun fact!…
Pollsters have been asking Americans about space for decades but the landscape -- spacescape? -- hasn't changed a lot. What began as a race to put a man in orbit between two superpowers has transformed into a race between private companies to make space travel cheap and easy. What do we think? Back here on Earth, you've probably noticed a lot more electric vehicles on the road over the last few years. But for every Tesla, Bolt, and Ioniq, Americans are still buying far more gas and hybrid cars. What's the real future of EVs? Marist College Associate Professor of Environmental Science, Dr. Ramesh Laungani (@DrRamBio), joins us to drive us through the developments. And, for our first December fun fact, we're regifting old polls for the season.…
Finally, get ready for a spirited debate with our "all-star" lineup for this week's Fun Fact. It's destined to steal the spotlight away from the turkey...although there's a surprising twist from the biggest football lover of them all!

Right, left, center? What is the "mainstream media"? Turns out the right answer probably is, no longer in existence. Our own Kevin Lerner, Marist Department of Communication Chair and an expert in journalism history, joins to help us figure out what dramatic changes in media and news means for democracy. Then, doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia, have been controversial topics for decades, leading to ethical, religious, and medical debates. But, decades after Dr. Kevorkian put a name and face on the practices, they're much more widespread and accepted. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel , bioethicist, oncologist, and professor at Penn, tells us why public opinion about the options is not really based on reality. Finally, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we compared our turkey cooking expertise. Whether you're a master chef or just hoping not to burn the house down, this week's fun fact will have you gobbling and ready for the holiday.…

Now that the election returns are (mainly) in, the exit poll data is available, and the pundits have weighed in, we're asking what REALLY made the difference for Donald Trump on Election Day. And that leads to a healthy discussion about whether most voters care more about issues or personalities. Since that took most of the show, we then cut right to the chase. We're bringing themed fun facts back for the Thanksgiving season. Our stomachs were growling, and the turkeys were gobbling for this one.…
The only time pollsters really know whether their work is accurate is on election days. This time around, the surprising outcome of the presidential race didn't mean the polls were off -- it's more of what we've come to expect in a 50-50 electorate. We're doing our first pass at this as we wait for full data to do a deeper dive. Then, we finish with a fun fact that St. Louis residents might not love...…
In this episode of Poll Hub, we dive into the fresh and final battleground numbers from Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Not only do these states form the so-called Blue Wall that any modern Democratic presidential candidate has to win, they're also home to three of the most competitive US Senate races. What do our final polls of these Great Lakes States reveal? Then, our insider's guide to Election Night. As the results come in over the course of the night, which states and which districts are we watching? We'll give you the goods. Finally, you may not be able to see it, but we have our costumes on! We bring the season to a close with our final spooky fun fact of the month! Joined by our former Poll Hub producer and creator of the spooky fun fact series, Athen Hollis, to help our hosts answer this scary question. AND...Election Day is November 5th, so don't forget to vote!…
We just released new numbers from the battleground states of Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina. While very little has changed since our polls from those states a few weeks back, there is a striking finding when we look at how voters are thinking about non-Presidential races on some ballots. Then, are authoritarian regimes really on the rise? We talk with author and professor @AnneMeng_ from @UVA about her research on the rise, or lack thereof, of far-right leaders around the world. Is the threat here in the U.S. real, inflated, or imaginary. Or all three? Finally, Halloween is just one week away, and we stick with our theme and wrap the show with another frightening fun fact.…
For decades, there's been a difference between how men and women vote. Not only which candidates they choose but how many register to vote and then show up at the polls. These so-called gender gaps are wider than ever. We take a look at recent polling data to explore why the political gulf between men and women is growing. Then, we explore the potential of year-round schooling in America. Dr. Carol Rinke, Professor of Education at @Marist College, joins us to discuss how this model has been implemented and the benefits or challenges associated with transitioning away from our usual academic calendar. And, what about summer vacation!?! Finally, we stay on theme this month for our fun fact. Fruit instead of candy? Gross! What do you expect when you go out on Halloween night?…
This week, we take a closer look at fresh polling from the battleground states of Florida, Ohio, and Texas, where numbers might indicate closer races than expected...especially in these three states' critical senate races. Then, a recent @WSJ piece revealed how certain regions of the United States have become increasingly reliant on federal funding like Social Security, Medicare, or grants. We're joined by one of the reporters behind the story, @AaronZitner, to break down the findings and explain how these areas are often strongholds for Republican voters. Finally, a surprising number of people believe it might be possible to communicate with the dead. We keep the spooky season alive with our fun fact this week!…
This week on Poll Hub, we have two new polls for you! How do New Yorkers feel about Mayor Eric Adams and his federal indictment? Should he stay or should he go? Plus, we dive into the data from our brand-new national poll on the Presidential race with our partners NPR and PBS. Spoiler alert! The gender gap is incredible! Then, the two in our twofer, we continue talking with Marist College President Kevin Weinman about how the college prepares students for life after graduation and the impact of AI on education. We brought on Caroline Smith and Luke Sassa, two Marist seniors, to ask some tough questions! Finally, spooky season is upon us! We got our spell book and cauldrons out to craft up the fun fact this week!…
Higher education has been in the news A LOT lately between protests, student loan debt, and questions about the value of a degree. Amidst this, confidence in colleges and universities has been shrinking among Americans. To shed some light on the issue, we brought in two Marist seniors for our interview of Marist College President Kevin Weinman. They have some tough questions and Weinman has a particularly interesting perspective on higher ed and the Dow Jones Industrial Average... This is part one of a two-parter! We're also diving into some key state polls, focusing on our new numbers out of North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona. Harris and Trump are this close in all three states even when the down ballot senate and governor's races lean strongly Democratic. What's going on? We finish with a fun fact that begs the question, who came up with these answers? The most popular TV genre is...…
While Donald Trump and plenty of Republicans have argued American elections are rife with fraud, numerous investigations (including some funded and directed by Trump-aligned individuals) have, over the years, shown it to be vanishingly rare in this country. But, election fraud IS real in some democracies around the world. What's the truth about election fraud versus voter fraud? Dr. Melissa Gaeke , Director of the Center for Civil Engagement and Leadership at Marist College joins us. Plus, our first polls of the cycle from Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin give a look at just how close and important this so-called "Blue Wall" is to both campaigns. Harris is up or tied with Trump in all three and two have critical senate races. Ours a part of a slew of polls. How do people know what to believe? Finally, ever dreamt of being in the political spotlight? Our fun fact looks at how your past could influence your decision.…

Public opinion polls taken just after Labor Day in presidential election years are, perhaps surprisingly, VERY accurate in predicting the winner on Election Day...of the popular vote at least. So, despite a very noisy and busy two month stretch to the finish, the history of polling indicates what we see now is most likely what we'll get in November. Then, gender dysphoria is on the rise among Americans, but the treatments for it are hotly debated. Some politicians advocate cutting off access to these treatments for people under 18 -- and a few advocate cutting it off for everyone -- but what do Americans think? And, how much of what we hear is factual versus scare tactics? We talk with Dr. Jack Drescher of Columbia University. Finally, we look at two questions from the 2000s about reality TV. And in a rare moment, all four co-hosts agree on our answer!…
We explore the shift from the Great Resignation to the Big Creation, where millions of Americans have quit their jobs, not just because they are unhappy, but to pursue better opportunities or even start their own businesses. We talk to Jim Garter from Gallup to see what this movement could mean for the future of work in the U.S. Then, we look at the resurgence of nuclear energy with Marist College Professor Jessica Boscarino. Specifically, the way public support is growing despite the lingering memories of disasters. We dive into the reasons behind supporting nuclear energy and consider whether it can overcome its past and play a role in clean energy. Finally, if you were an iPod, just how American would you be? This week’s fun fact will make you think twice!…
The Democratic National Convention has been picture-perfect for the party, injecting a lot of energy into the race just as Kamala Harris pulls ahead in most national polls. But the big question remains: can they count on a post-convention bounce? At the same time, Project 2025 — a “comprehensive blueprint designed for the next conservative administration" — has become a weapon for Democrats and a bother for Republicans. Despite Trump’s recent attempts to distance himself from it, the plan continues to attract attention and support among conservatives. Just how many people are truly aware of Project 2025? Finally, we bid a bittersweet farewell to our longtime producer. After many episodes, we take a look back at some of their favorite Poll Hub moments as she prepares to sign off from her final Poll Hub episode.…
When you think of Botox, your mind may wander to aging Hollywood stars who've become strange versions of their younger selves. But data shows Botox isn't just for people with wrinkles any longer. Botox is trending for pre-wrinkled younger people, and it may be a mixed bag. Then, who's using cannabis? Since the drug has been legalized in most of America, we wanted to know how it's going. R. Lorraine Collins of @UBuffalo joins to check in on the state of legal weed. With so much rapid change, who is using it now and how much are they using? Finally, what are those college kids drinking?! Well, this week's fun fact tells us what was the popular college beverage was back in 1939 !…
Kamala Harris has picked Tim Walz as her running mate and the DNC is right around the corner. The race is on and our new poll with NPR and PBS News shows things have changed quite a bit since Joe Biden left the race. Then, speaking of vice presidential candidates, JD Vance's comments about "childless cat ladies" has made waves. Plenty of people were offended but there is truth to the notion that there are more childless Americans than there used to be. Michigan State's Jennifer Watling Neal joins to discuss her research of Americans who've chosen not to have kids. And, finally, a sendoff for one of our favorite student producers, Delaney Hayes, who is off to law school and then ruling the world!…
We're asking a crucial question: Is it news or nonsense? With more people getting their news from social media platforms and AI-produced visuals flooding the zone, there is a lot of room for misinformation. This week, we bring Marist Journalism professor Kevin Lerner back on the show to help us break down how to spot misinformation and find credible news sources. Then, tens of millions of Americans use this platform for entertainment and endless scrolling, but, for some, it's a full-time job. The U.S. government is pushing the Chinese-run company to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States, but what does this mean for everyday Americans? We are joined by TikTok influencer Maddie (m00bie) Schrader to discuss the ban President Biden signed into law and its implications for both users and influencers. We finish with a Lee-less fun fact. Can we even do that? It's about something so ubiquitous that we barely think about it, even though most of us had never heard of it 30 years ago.…
Joe Biden ended his campaign and Kamala Harris very quickly became the almost-certain Democratic nominee. The next day, we asked Americans in a one-day survey with NPR and PBS News what they thought. The results say a lot but we're also discussing why a one-day poll can tell us only so much. Then, the COVID pandemic exposed deep flaws in our country's nursing homes, but what is being done to fix them? We talk with R. Tamara Konetzka from the University of Chicago to get a better sense of what's wrong with the system and whether the huge batch of ageing boomers might change that. Finally, what will you be watching during the Paris Olympics? We find out what America has to say in this fun fact!…
The Republican National Convention is over and the assassination attempt on Donald Trump is already fading from the headlines, so what to make of the next set of polls? Our NPR/PBS News survey released last week helps show why you probably shouldn't read too much into the next set of polls...even ours! Next, we're looking at cryptocurrency. You've probably heard of Bitcoin but, if you're like many Americans, you don't really know what crypto is or what is can do. So... we have Bina Ramamurthy @BinaUB from @UBuffalo on to break down cryptocurrency and the future of virtual money! And. if you're looking for more, check out her Blockchain ThinkLab and Coursera courses on the topic. Finally, this week's fun fact covers the best time of year -- summertime -- and the best food of all. Ice cream! What's your favorite flavor? It starts there and we go way afield.…

How will the Supreme Court's historic ruling on Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution impact the race for the White House? And, how with the historically bad debate between Biden and Trump impact the election? We're looking at the early polls and exploring whether ANYTHING will change what people think of these two historically unpopular candidates. Then, as we celebrate Independence Day, we're looking at how Americans think about patriotism and the flag. And...no surprise...it's complicated by partisan differences. Finally, do you know how many nicknames there are for the American flag? This week's fun fact looks at the fan favorite!…
Our latest NPR/PBS News poll asks a hypothetical: Do you want your kid to grow up to be president? Perhaps after this week's debate, you won't be surprised what a majority of Americans think.

Finally, summer is concert season and this week's fun fact posits another hypothetical: who would you see if they were still touring? maristpoll.com/podcast…
A June presidential debate has never happened but that's about to change. With that in mind, we're looking into the data from our new NPR/PBS News poll about Biden v. Trump and a whole lot more. Including how they're tied on a very unenviable metric. Next, should we pay college athletes? Student athletes already do get some compensation in some cases, but recent court rulings and settlements have blown the discussion wide open. We look at what Americans think and then get some expert insights from sports law attorney Luke Fedlam. Finally, pull out your crystals and Yanni CDs for our fun fact...…
Our first polls of the cycle are out, and we are discussing all the numbers from the battleground states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. These two states could determine control of the U.S. Senate. Then, is technology ruining our children? We have seen a concerning rise in technology usage amongst the younger generations, especially boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic. How will this impact generations to come? Finally, we wrap up with Lee's fun fact, perfectly timed for the hot summer days ahead. And it sparks a bit of a debate.…
Nearly every piece of economic data says the same thing: The US is enjoying one of the strongest economies in our history. So, why do a majority of Americans think we're in a recession? There are a lot of theories about where this disconnect comes from, but here's a thought: Maybe so many of us maxing out our credit cards has something to do with it. Next, nearly every piece of data also shows that, while married women have nearly closed the earnings gap, they're still getting the short end of the stick in other ways. Plus, what's happening in same-sex marriages? Finally, for this week's fun fact, we're getting the good stuff. Just in time for the summer heat.…
The race between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump remains very stable in our latest poll with NPR and the PBS NewsHour but that changes in potentially surprising ways once we bring third-party candidates into the mix. We're digging into these and other results from the survey. Then, one study reports someone in the US is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds. As college graduation season winds down, we're looking at the data and polls on sexual assault and harassment on college campuses. Kelly Yough, Title IX Coordinator at Marist College, joins to discuss how schools are trying to deal with the problem. Finally, we wrap up with a comedic fun fact. Are you Team President Colbert, President Stewart, or President Fey?…
Since early October, Americans, especially younger ones, have been vocal about the Israel-Hamas war, leading to college protests and mixed reactions from the public, but what do the rest of Americans think? We break down this complex issue. Then, are you concerned about the possibility of another Civil War? Nearly 160 years after the first ended, you wouldn’t be the only one! America is increasingly divided, but has it reached the point where differences in opinion have become fighting words? And, our fun fact this week is more of an ethical dilemma. What would you do if you found out your child was switched at birth?…
GenNext is a brand-new project from the Marist Poll in which young Americans ask young Americans about topics they care about. This entirely new type of youth survey launches with the work of two Marist students who wanted to understand how their peers are thinking about abortion and charitable giving compared with older generations. Neel Viswanathan and Krystyna Lubrano join to talk about the experience of learning how to design and conduct a statistically valid survey AND what they thought of their results. Then, we look ahead to what we're planning for GenNext -- especially since this generation of young Americans is the largest in US history and is already making themselves heard. Finally, we celebrate National Rescue Dog Day through our fun fact. And, with a panel full of animal lovers, you know how this is going to go!…
Can eating dinner as a family make your life better? Data shows families ARE still eating together despite decades of changes in technology (TV, smartphones) and that it could be improving health. Then, we are looking into the mental health crisis among Gen Z. Most experts say it's real but we're looking at whether it's just Gen Z that's in a funk -- or is the problem more widespread. And, we end with Lee's fun fact that is well timed for his recent birthday (which he treats like a national holiday). Think of it as a gift to you, our listeners. And, think of that as a clue!…
Our latest poll with NPR/PBS NewsHour is out and behind the horserace numbers is some really interesting -- and some would say worrying -- data about how Americans are thinking about our democracy. We're asking what the results are telling us about which candidate is more likely to preserve democracy and about American's fear of fascism and extremism. Next, are we becoming an R.E.M. song and losing our religion? There's a growing population in America that is identifying less with religion, particularly organized religion. Does this mean we're becoming less religious, as well? And, what does it mean for pollsters who use the religion of respondents to help better analyze opinion data? And, after all that weighty stuff, our fun fact is all about a treat that, in excess, is surely weighty, as well: Donuts!…

Our latest poll got plenty of attention in part because other polls released at the same time all show the same thing. Biden is doing better than he was just a month ago and there are several key reasons why. We look into our data to explain what we think is happening. Next, we're exploring new survey results that show Americans are pretty displeased with the state of our public education system AND that teachers are pretty displeased with their jobs. They say they're not appreciated, overworked, and underpaid. And, our fun fact asks a question that may not be providing the most accurate answers. Is the decade you think was best determined by your age at the time?…
In our latest survey of New York State residents, we found a lot of pessimism about a lot of things -- except legalized recreational marijuana. We're unpacking the findings and what they say about the current Empire State of mind. Then, after the NCAA women's college basketball final beat the men's final in the ratings, a lot of people are saying women's sports have finally arrived. While players like Caitlin Clark are changing the game, as we now see with her new WNBA contract, they are still be paid almost 3 times less than their male counterparts -- at best. And, we end with a delicious and indulgent fun fact: Do you have a food you know is bad for you, but you eat anyway? We have A LOT of answers on this one.…

Turns out a lot of Americans did but what did our producers find when they went searching for polling data on past eclipses. We were VERY surprised.

What do Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and single use plastics have in common? They're all part of our latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll and we're diving deep into the data to explain some surprising results. Next, could Gen Z stay politically liberal as they age? The Washington Post's Philip Bump is our guest to help us dig into this theory. Gen Z is the biggest generation since the Boomers but, at least right now, they are displaying some very different behaviors from those of the generation now passing the torch. And, our fun fact goes back millions (many millions) of years. Are we misremembering history due to a popular franchise movie? This week's fun fact tests our dinosaur knowledge.…
We're digging into our first-of-the-season Texas poll to see if Democrats can break the decades-long GOP hold on the Lone Star State.

For starters, the rest of us aren't really on it...or so we thought. The debate over whether the Chinese-owned app should be allowed to continue operating in the U.S. has made for some strange political alliances but what do American think?

The 2024 election may, like those in 2016 and 2020, come down to the results in a handful of battleground states. We love polling these states and our first of this year are Georgia and North Carolina. It's early but the data tells a lot about the opportunities and challenges Joe Biden and Donald Trump face. Then, we have an awesome extended segment on AI in education. Some teachers and college professors worry about Chat GPT being more like "Cheat" GPT but others are embracing the technology. We're bringing our two student producers together with Marist Assistant Professor of Communications Dr. Qihao Ji to talk about how he requires it in classroom! And, we finish with Lee's fun fact about the times of our lives. What are the best times of life? What are the worst? A 1971 survey has us talking.…
History shows the State of the Union address rarely provides presidents with a lasting bounce in the polls so, while Joe Biden may have been hoping for one after his widely praised speech, that it didn't happen is not a surprise. It's also not a surprise that the coverage around it and the cringey GOP response from Alabama Sen. Katie Britt fit the new normal: political journalism as sports coverage. Next up, with the pandemic in the rear-view mirror, office life for white collar workers has changed. While work from home has been scaled way back, most workers are not in the office 5 days a week and they like it that way. But, is it good for careers, companies, or workers? Finally, as we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we dig up a poll from 1994 that shows a majority of Americans just aren't that green.…
The latest NYTimes/Siena Poll has been getting a lot of attention, but not all the good kind. Plenty of Democrats are upset about what it shows and how the Times covered it. Others used the numbers to bolster arguments about Biden's age or Trump's electability. But, we argue the REAL problem is the poll's methodology itself. It's a novel way of trying to solve issues that plague polling but it's an experiment with no control group and it's reported as gospel...

Not to get to maudlin, but what happens when one of the most influential generations in American history dies out? In The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America , Washington Post columnist Philip Bump @pbump dives into this question. He joins us this week to knock down (some) Boomer stereotypes and to put into perspective just how much the generation changed politics, culture, and the economy. And, they’re not done yet! Bump talks about how the new battle between Biden and the Republicans over Social Security is a major part of Boomers' likely last act. We end with a question about what type of chocolate Americans prefer that quickly shifts to a more existential one: is white chocolate really chocolate?…

Data shows Americans have been especially pessimistic lately when it comes to President Biden and the state of the economy. However, numbers show the economy is about as good as it's ever been and it's just fact that Biden has accomplished more in his first two years (whether you like what he's done or not) than nearly any other president in history. So what's behind this giant disconnect? We look at political science, public opinion science, and journalism to find some answers. Then, it's on to potential demographic changes in the 2030 Census. NPR correspondent Hansi Lo Wang @hansilowang walks us through the proposed changes and then helps us understand what they could mean for the Census, pollsters like us, and all the industries that rely on polling data. And, just in time for Super Bowl weekend AND Valentine's Day, a survey question of critical importance: Do Americans have a greater love of love or a love of sports? We have new data from our latest Marist Poll plus a surprising trend in the answer.…

Our first poll of 2023 is out and we asked about a lot of things, including what Americans think the State of the Union is, Biden's latest approval rating, and how big a problem extremism is for both parties. We found some surprises there. We also asked about social media and Americans have an interesting take on the media's effects. Is tipping out of control? We look at how the pandemic has affected the practice of tipping in the United States. Internationally, the U.S. is one of the only countries in which tipping is common and, with so many service worker in tip-based jobs living at or below the poverty level, we ask, is it realistic to keep the practice? In honor of Groundhog Day and the ultimate question of two more weeks of winter or spring, we look at who Americans trust more: a furry animal or the TV weather star.…
The recent Speaker of the House election ended with Kevin McCarthy winning (barely) and with Americans having little confidence Congress will accomplish anything in the next two years. Americans hope their representatives work with Biden, but do not seem optimistic. It comes as the Biden Administration resets for both a divided government and an expected re-election campaign. How will the mess in the House influence the 2024 race? Then, we get into rank choice voting. After its Broadway debut in the New York City mayoral elections in 2021, it played a starring role in the Alaska elections in which a Democrat beat two Republicans – including Sarah Palin – to become the state’s lone House member. There are at least 27 bills being introduced across the country to use RCV. Has its time finally arrived?

Even as Americans in general have slowly moved away from identifying as either a Democrat or Republican over the past couple of decades, younger voters are already there. In fact, Millennials are bucking a trend among Boomers and members of the Silent Generation who’ve become less likely to be independents as they age – Millennials have become continuously more likely to identify as independents. Then, a recent study from Stanford published in the journal Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science found the stress of living through the pandemic physically changed adolescents' brains and prematurely aged them by at least three or four years. So, it appears that the pandemic not only adversely affected adolescents’ mental health, but also accelerated their brain maturation. These findings have critical implications for researchers who are conducting longitudinal studies that were interrupted due to pandemic-related shutdowns. Our special guest is Dr. Ian H. Gotlib (@GotlibLab) from Stanford University who is a co-author of the study. We finish up with Lee's Fun Fact from 1949 when Americans had high hopes for the Atomic Age.…

Almost since the founding of the nation, immigration has been a political flash point. Since 2016, when Donald Trump rode his pledge to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to the White House, most Republicans have supported very tight restrictions to immigration of all types. Over the last year, the number of people crossing the southern border has hit record levels and, this week, Biden made his first visit to the border as President. So, we're marking the occasion by looking at polling on immigration over the last 30 years -- and we've found some surprising changes. Next, we welcome back Marist Communications/Journalism professor Kevin Lerner (@KLerner) to talk about how social media has moved away from being a virtual town square and the "great leveler" to being a series of tribal destinations. Now sites for specific groups have gained traction, especially political ones. Twitter has been challenged by a host of conservative apps like Parler, Gettr, Truth Social, Rumble, and Gab. And, as Elon Musk made big moves at Twitter to un-ban some infamous right-wing extremists, liberals have headed to Post.social, Mastadon, and Hive. As part of our conversation, we're releasing results from our December poll on Musk's Twitter purchase. Marist Poll Tables (Musk/Twitter) We finish with a Fun Fact that's older than Lee!

The first week of 2023 has brought a historic spectacle to Congress. Republicans eked out the majority in the House in the midterm elections but can't agree on a Speaker. Whatever eventually happens, what will it mean for how the House operates (or doesn't) over the next two years? How about for Republican and Democratic changes in 2024? We look at our recent polling data to see what Americans think of Congress and what they expect of this already dysfunctional 118th Congress. Then, CNN's Polling & Analytics Editor, Ariel Edwards-Levy (@AEdwardsLevy) joins us to talk about a recent high-profile New York Times article that has raised a fair amount of ire among pollsters. What's the problem? We're talking aggregators, polling methods, responsible journalism, and taking responsibility. Heavy stuff! We end in 1957 with a Gallup Poll that asked a question that needs to be read carefully, lest the answers give the wrong impression.…
The U.S. Census reports there are now more than 1 million same-sex couple households in the nation and our expert guest, Dr. Shoshana K.

In the same month that the President signed a bi-partisan bill to make same-sex marriage legal (the Supreme Court ruled that way several years back but it was never written into a law), our new poll with NPR and the PBS NewsHour charts the dramatic changes in how Americans see this ritual. For our final Poll Hub of 2022, we take a look at our annual year-end poll which surveys Americans about how they approach the season (festive or frustrated), how they're shopping (online or in-store), and what the most annoying word of this year has been. Then, we head into the Roper archives to pull out three seasonal poll questions from the past so we can survey our entire team to see what they think.

As 2022 winds down, Washington will see big changes as a new Congress will be seated in a few weeks – with a big difference over the current one – Republicans will control the House. What do Americans expect from this arrangement? Our poll with NPR and the PBS NewsHour indicates there's little hope for much accomplishment and Americans broadly agree on something else: our democracy is seriously threatened. Then we welcome McClatchy's veteran Congressional reporter David Lightman to get a deeper understanding about what’s likely coming. What will the divided government Americans voted for in November do – especially with 2024 already on the horizon and a potential Trump-Biden rematch sucking up all the oxygen in the room. And, we’re wrapping with a seasonal Fun Fact with polls from opposite sides of the globe. Ho ho ho! Let’s go!…
The 10th anniversary of the horrific mass school shooting in Sandy Hook, Connecticut is on December 14th, 2022. The people of the town have noted prior anniversaries quietly and that’s expected again. But 10 years on, we wanted to see what – if anything – had changed: in policy, in public opinion, in the number of additional shootings. Then, the pandemic sparked a mass early retirement party for older Americans and that could be very problematic – maybe not for them but certainly for everyone else. We’ll explain. And, we end with...a very final end...extinction. It’s a poll question we would have never thought to ask. Intrigued?…

Sure, the 2022 elections aren't even officially over yet, but with Trump already announcing his run for President in 2024, we're looking at new polling showing he may be facing a very uphill climb. Then again, Joe Biden is no more popular for 2024 so what -- or who -- do Americans want? The data suggests they may not know, but they do know who they DON'T want. Next up, smoking is making a comeback but not exactly the way you might think. Young adults are smoking cigarettes less than ever, but they're smoking something a little more green at increasing rates. We're also looking at how smoking rates are linked to geography, education, and politics -- is it correlation, causation, or coincidence?

The "Red Tsunami" was downgraded to a "Red Wave" on election night before ending up as a "Red Ripple." So, why did so many in politics and the media get it wrong? A lot are blaming "the polls" but we're explaining why that is simply not true. As we've said on Poll Hub for years, quality polls are entirely different from aggregators that average surveys from everyone -- including organizations with no track record and no transparency about their methods or funding. So...we have some advice. Then, looking at the main issues of concern to voters in the midterms, the opioid crisis barely registered, despite killing over 100,000 Americans last year. Freelance journalist and recovering addict Zachary Siegel (@ZachWritesStuff), who also hosts Narcotica Podcast (@Narcocast) about mental health and addiction and co-writes Substance , a Substack about drugs and crime, is here to help us understand the disconnect. Zach takes us on a deep dive into why such a huge problem, that's impacting so many American families, isn't more important to voters. We end the show with some food for thought, and everyone's got a different opinion on Lee's yummy Fun Fact this week.…
We made it! Election Day is behind us and most of the votes have been counted, so, now it's time to see how WE did. Our final polls showed close races and we were on the money. We discuss how we changed how we poll in order to adapt to a changing world and how that may have made our polls more accurate. We're also sorting through the rubble of the massive number of new and/or untested polls that flooded many states late in the game. Did they change the narrative this year for better or worse? Speaking of which, how did all those polls get rolled up and incorporated into the aggregators and forecasters that have become so popular with political pundits and reporters? This was NOT a good cycle for them and we explain why. Plus, how those arguing for the politeratti that give more weight to the early vote data were proven correct. And, we POLISH up this week's episode with an interesting one from the halcyon bygone fifties. What item were people buying in grocery stores, five & dimes, and shoe stores? And why does Lee think about football when he hears about it?…
We're diving deep into the data from our new national poll with NPR and the PBS NewsHour to spot the national trends that are shaping this election. While many results seem to favor Republicans in general, one really stands out for how big a change it is from prior years' polling -- and it could signal a stronger Democratic showing than some expect. We've also wrapped our final battleground state polls and the results from Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona are a mixed bag for both parties. There are very close senate races that will be decided by whose voters actually cast ballots on Election Day itself. We end with a not-at-all Fun Fact from 1937 that asked voters some very pointed questions about religion and gender. Why? Because history may not repeat, but it echoes...…
We've been polling key states since Labor Day and this week we released new numbers from Ohio and North Carolina. Both feature retiring GOP Senators, meaning open seats with no incumbents. Democrats are hoping to grab one or both to add to their bare-minimum majority while Republicans want to keep them in their column. Ohio shows a notable increase in the top concern of voters... what has changed since our last report? In North Carolina, the race is close as a surprising number of voters still don't have an opinion of either major candidate. Next up, some call them smartphones, others, "adult pacifiers." We're joined by Shiri Melumad (@ShiriM528), Assistant Professor of Marketing and Wolpow Family Faculty Scholar at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania ( https://marketing.wharton.upenn.edu/profile/_whrtn71/ ), who gives us an insight into the world's attachment to smartphones. Are phones bad? Good? Both? Neither? And, should we differentiate between the content we see and the actual phone itself? Finally, a seasonal Fun Fact.

We devote the episode to our conversation with Steve Thomma, who's been involved in covering the White House as a reporter since Ronald Reagan's second term and now serves as Executive Director of the White House Correspondents' Association. Steve talks about how the relationship between the White House and the journalists assigned to cover it has seemed to worsen almost continually since the 80s. He notes the criticism of both the Trump and Biden teams and how more access to the President hasn't always meant better information. We also talked about how reporters deal with Presidential untruths -- "lies" is a word only recently used by major American media -- and how the press has evolved to report on them. And, what about candidates and politicians refusing to talk to, or even allow into news conferences, reporters they don't like? Steve has some thoughts about that. Then, to wrap up, we invite Steve -- a Chicagoan -- to explain how his hometown could fall so far behind NYC in a critical poll from 1955. He also explains, in minute detail, what makes a Chicago hot dog so superior to all others.…
First stop, colorful Colorado. It seems like both parties are revved up for the upcoming election, with big majorities of Dems and Republicans saying they will definitely vote.

Will the o'reliable red state remain red, or could Beto O'Rourke find success this time around? And finally, New York. In such a heavily Democratic state, incumbent Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul should be a shoe-in. After all, not many states give President Biden a high approval rating, but will campaigning on crime pay off for Republican Lee Zeldin?…
Our latest national poll with NPR has good news for Democrats...and Republicans with roughly four weeks to the midterms. For instance, Joe Biden's approval rating keeps trending up but Republicans are more enthusiastic to vote. And then there's this: We asked if people thought their favored candidate should concede if he/she/they lost the election. We dig into all the results. Next, crime has been a long-time GOP campaign issue and why not? Over many decades, more voters see Republicans as better able to handle it than Democrats. But, will it work this time around or will it be trumped by other issues important to swing voters such as abortion? And, for Lee's Fun Fact, the team discloses their own bad habits as we talk about Americans' most likely guilty pleasures engaged in when no one else is around.…

Our battleground state polling continues, as we take a look at Arizona and Pennsylvania. In one way, little has changed in Arizona since the nail-biting 2020 results, as the Governor's race is nearly dead even. But what is different is what appears to be ticket splitters giving the Senate contest a very different look. Pennsylvania, on the other hand, is looking pretty solidly blue, as Democratic candidates in both races lead with considerable margins. We have looked through the data to understand what groups in each state are driving the divergent results. Next, it's all about predicting the future as we focus on polls and forecasts. We're joined by Data Editor for The Economist (@TheEconomist), Dan Rosenheck (@DanRosenheck), who easily switches between detailed explanations of how he's built the publication's election forecast model for the midterms to why so many people misunderstand how forecasts differ dramatically from polls.

Some reasons may be obvious but looking deeper at the data yields some additional clues of where we are -- and where our mood may be headed. Boston-based think tank Populace released a report in August that detail significant gaps between what the authors called peoples' "public" and "private" opinions on hot-button issues like COVID masking, abortion, public schooling, and racism.

The conventional wisdom in politics all year has been Republicans will win back the House and maybe the Senate on the wings of Joe Biden's low approval ratings and the economy's high inflation rate. But, ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade , that narrative has been suffering. On Tuesday, New York voters chipped away further.

With the possibility of a bi-partisan deal in the Senate to pass the first new gun legislation in a quarter century, we ask special guest Ron Brownstein, why now? As Senior Editor at The Atlantic and Senior Political Analyst at CNN, Brownstein has a special knack for looking at polling data and finding things other reporters miss. In this episode, he explains what he's found and how it is, at least, partially responsible for the movement after so many years. Ron sticks around to help us understand how the January 6th Hearings are playing. We're taking a look at recent polling, the ratings, and how it's all being covered in the media. Will the hearings, no matter how compelling the evidence presented that Donald Trump effectively led an attempted coup, change any minds or make any difference in the November midterms? Lee and Ron compare notes on that one. Finally, we figured since we had him on the show, we might as well go all-Brownstein and talk to Ron about his new New York Times bestseller, Rock Me on the Water: 1974-The Year Los Angeles Transformed Movies, Music, Television, and Politics. It's all about how the pop culture of 1970s L.A. both predicted, and beat, the political movements of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Plus, there's a fun story about the Beatles missing a big gig.…

Every ten years, the U.S. Census aims to make a count of every American, but in 2020, that job was harder than ever, only partly because of the pandemic. Earlier this year, the Bureau announced it had likely undercounted the number of non-whites across the country. Now, it says it also undercounted and overcounted people in 14 states -- in some cases by seemingly large amounts. How will this impact the users of census data, including government agencies, non-profits, and pollsters? NPR's Hansi Lo Wang joins the discussion to walk us through it all. Then, we're looking at the GOP primary results in Georgia where two candidates Trump vehemently and actively opposed -- Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensburger -- won big over Trump's handpicked competitors. Coupled with mixed results for Trump earlier this cycle, does it show the GOP is less Trump's party than the party of Trumpism?

As with most American mass shootings, there's been a lot of talk about America's obsession with guns following the killing of 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo. But, in this case, the alleged shooter left a racist manifesto that repeatedly referenced themes of something called the Great Replacement Theory. That theory posits government leaders and elites are purposely encouraging immigration and an increase in non-white birth rates in order to "replace" whites for the purposes of gaining political power. We look a recent polling that shows a significant chunk of Republicans believe this idea -- as do a perhaps surprising number of Democrats. Later, we go deep into the data of our brand-new poll with NPR and the PBS NewsHour. We asked Americans about abortion rights and restrictions in light of the potential ruling from the Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade. This follows our long history of asking much more granular questions about abortion than just pro-life/pro-choice. There's movement in those numbers plus there's a fallout for faith in the Court itself. Plus, there are indications abortion may be a more salient election issue than in the past. Then, Lee's Fun Fact asks which state you'd most like to vacation in -- other than your own. The top 5 is not unexpected but 11 other states have a dubious distinction....…
Elon Musk wants Twitter and, should the deal to sell it to him for $44 billion close, he's going to get it. But, then what? He says he wants more free speech on Twitter and recently said Donald Trump's lifetime ban should be lifted. Would Marjorie Taylor Greene or Steve Bannon be next? And does Musk's free speech mean propaganda and lies or harassment and threats? Then, it's college graduation season! Congrats to all the grads but, also, good luck: Most students today will be graduating with loan debts. While President Biden is expected to announce in coming weeks that the government will forgive at least $10,000 in debt for people making less than $125,000, there are still plenty of people who will be paying back loans for decades. We're digging into the debt question and how Americans think it should be solved. Finally, sticking with the graduation theme, our fun fact is about just that. But to really change it up, we found a poll from 1938!…
Earlier this week, a draft opinion overturning the Supreme Court's landmark Roe vs Wade ruling leaked. While only a draft, it was reported a majority of justices have signed on to overturn Roe and allow the states to make their own laws about abortion -- including banning or criminalizing it. At least 20 states are ready to severely restrict or ban abortion immediately or soon after any ruling. But, is this what a majority of Americans support? We're looking at both the straightforward poll questions, such as "Do you think the Supreme Court should overturn Roe ?," as well as far more nuanced questions about various limitations put on abortion in many states. The issue is NOT, and has never been, black and white. Then, there's the politics. Abortion has been a potent get-out-the-vote issue for Republicans but not so for Democrats. If Roe is overturned, will that change? The midterms are only a few months away and campaigns are already scrambling to address abortion. Plus, several traditional swing states have divided governments -- Democratic governors and Republican legislatures. The battles there this fall could be highly influenced by an end to Roe. We're looking at that as well.…
Our brand-new NPR/PBS NewsHour Poll asked Americans to rate Republicans and Democrats on a wide array of key issues. The results provide deeper insight into how voters may choose their local candidates in November's midterm elections. Pluralities view the GOP as more equipped to deal with big issues such as the economy and crime while Democrats are favored on issues like climate change and abortion that, historically, have been less of a factor in election outcomes. We explore whether the past will be prologue this time around. New Jersey has joined the growing list of U.S. states legalizing marijuana. And, it turns out, a surprising number of Americans of every stripe support the idea. So this begs the question, why is buying or using weed still a Federal crime and why are the odds of changing that so slim? Finally, Mary Griffith helps Lee get through this week's fun fact.

Happy Earth Day! In honor of today, we're looking at climate change from two perspectives. First, going carbon neutral. According to a recent Pew survey, Americans largely favor taking steps towards becoming carbon neutral. Other polls show a majority of Americans -- in some cases majorities of Democrats and Republicans -- are willing to make sacrifices to address global warming, but a majority also think it may not be enough. Then, Katherine Hayhoe, Chief Scientist at the Nature Conservancy, as well as Professor of Political Science at Texas Tech, joins us to talk about faith and climate science. As a Christian and a scientist, she has a fascinating perspective on the interconnected nature of faith and climate change.

A new Gallup poll shows that for the first time since 2016, Americans are worried "a great deal" about crime. Republicans say crime is flourishing in Democrat-led cities, but the stats say otherwise: The states with the highest murder rates voted for Donald Trump in 2020. Still, crime overall is still on the rise and Democrats recognize the political peril it provides. What do polls say about how big a deal it could be in the 2022 midterms? Baseball fans were forced to wait a week for opening day due to the labor battle between the players and the team owners. Let's just say polls show the fans aren't happy about this.

The results from our brand new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll do not paint a pretty picture for Joe Biden. His approval rating is the lowest it has ever been in our poll. Majorities think he's failed and hasn't lived up to his campaign promises.

The seemingly endless debate over whether to revise or end the filibuster took up much of the fall in the Senate, and despite all indications that there aren't enough votes to do anything about it, Democrats, in particular, are still talking change. Recent polling suggests that this is a very partisan issue but is there something more in the data? We take a look -- especially as the Senate gears up for a new Supreme Court nominee -- something that is no longer so fraught thanks to the last reform of the filibuster. Then, presidents and polls. When Biden was recently asked about his low numbers with moderates and independents, he said "I don't believe the polls." He's in good company.

At the same time, a small bipartisan group is working on a more limited proposal. Where are Americans on all of this?

No one is certain what any type of work will look like but gig, or contract work, certainly seems likely to stay. Still, a surprisingly few Americans are full-time gig workers.

The latest NPR/Marist Poll survey is all about Biden and his economic plans. The team breaks down how Americans feel about everything from the stimulus checks to the Build Back Better bill to the recently signed bipartisan infrastructure law. Many Americans believe that these programs will help in many ways — except when it comes to their #1 economic concern — inflation. Next, we are joined by special guest Deb Otis (@debtheotis), Senior Research Analyst in the Government Affairs Department at Fair Vote , a non-profit that promotes ranked choice voting (RCV). This past summer RCV faced its biggest test in the US when New York City’s municipal elections used it. So, what worked, what didn't, and where does RCV go from here? Finally, it's the holiday season so we’re looking at holiday spending for Lee’s fun fact. We look at 2 polls, a little more than 10 years apart to see just how much Americans spend each holiday season and spoiler: it's a lot.…
America’s inflation rate reached 6.2% in October 2021, marking the highest it has been in 3 decades. With President Biden’s public opinion suffering, we wanted to see if this is a uniquely American thing going on. Spoiler alert! It's not. With rising inflation rates worldwide and world leader’s approval ratings sinking, it seems we and Biden are in good company. Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges after he shot three men, killing two and injuring one, during a protest in Kenosha. He argued it was self-defense. Ahmaud Arbery's killers also said they shot in self-defense but the jury in that case rejected the claim. In light of these back-to-back decisions that gripped the nation, we ask if the debate on guns in America has fundamentally changed. Finally, it’s the holiday season and for many that means dreams of a snowy winter! Or does it? We look at how Americans feel about this chilly topic.…

He's looked at the Chinese economic transformation from 1990 onwards and has discovered fascinating insights into what the U.S. got wrong in dealing with it -- and what we can learn from those mistakes. One big finding is that the impact was, and still is, very different depending on where in the U.S. you live. Next, a new Pew Research study of 17 countries with advanced economies and how their citizens view different aspects of America.

A new polled released by CNN comes as the Democrats continue to negotiate the details of their massive social spending package. If passed, the $1T plus spending plan would expand education, health care and childcare support, as well as tackling the climate crisis and making further investments in infrastructure. But who supports it? The team looks at the latest data from CNN and breaks down party support. Who do you trust? In Gallup's September update , Americans trust in politicians, the legislative branch, and even themselves is, in some cases, at an all-time low. What’s at stake? If Americans lose more trust in ourselves in the years ahead, could it create a "crisis for overall confidence in the U.S. democratic system?” Happy early Halloween!

A new poll from Pew Research shows that two-thirds of Republicans say they want Trump to remain a political figure and 44% want him to run for office again. Democrats couldn’t disagree more. No surprise there as the GOP is pretty much Trump’s party right now. But, the survey also uncovered significant differences between the parties in how people think about criticism of their party leaders. Next up, a look at how the increasingly incessant hunt for clicks in journalism combined with the proliferation of new and often shoddy polls is leading to a problematic perfect storm. A recent column in the Washington Post taking a New York Times reporter to task for publicizing a totally bogus poll from Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is a good place to start. We also talk about a poll in the California Governor recall race that demonstrates a variation on the theme. And then a conversation about polling in our hyperpartisan era. When everything from wearing a mask to choosing a restaurant seems to fall along party lines, what chance does the polling industry have? New research from Duke University shows that people are more likely to trust a poll if it backs their own opinions. And stay for Lee’s fun fact, just in time for the trick-or-treaters!…

With the release of the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll, we investigate how the public feels about abortion – in particular, some extreme parts of the new Texas abortion law. Social media is a huge part of how politicians talk to their constituents. But, the way politicians from each party talk on social media is incredibly different.

We go through everything from Biden’s approval rating to election fairness, from pandemic stress levels to vaccination mandates. What do our results mean and how do they stack up to what other polls are finding? Pollsters like us have a rare opportunity to gauge the reliability of our surveys. When it comes to asking about the vaccination status of Americans, we can benchmark our data against the “hard” numbers reported by the CDC on the number of vaccinated Americans. Usually, the only opportunity to do this is an election. According to Pew Research’s recent analysis , public polling on the COVID-19 vaccination has aligned very closely with the CDC’s data.

Out with the old and in with the new. CNN is updating its polling methodologies with a new approach that relies on one of the older polling modes: snail mail. Why? As with nearly all quality pollsters, CNN has had issues reaching a truly representative sample of people across America’s political groups. Jennifer Agiesta explains what’s behind the change and how she hopes it will help. In another issue facing pollsters, a key demographic group, “White Evangelicals,” has both grown and changed. They are a critical core part of Donald Trump’s base, but they appear to be different in significant ways from self-identified white evangelical voters of the past. For instance, they appear to share a political viewpoint more than a religious one. How should pollsters respond in reporting their numbers and influence? Finally, can you imagine a time without a phone? Lee’s fun fact this week takes it all the way back to 1937 to ask who had a telephone in their home.

Will the U.S. default? Will the government shut down? Will Republicans or Democrats blink? Very soon, Congress must vote to lift the $28.4 trillion debt limit or there could be catastrophic economic consequences like a default or government shutdown. What do Americans think about this? And what if there is a government shutdown? Last time around (2019) 58% of Americans said the shutdown was “a very serious problem.” But, opinions tend to fall along partisan lines. The pandemic has changed a lot about work for a lot of people. But, how many of those changes will be permanent? Some companies (and one country) have moved to a 4-day workweek. In recent polling, working Americans like the idea. Some say it prevents burnout and keeps workers happier and more engaged. We talk with Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, four-time author and founder of Strategy and Rest, a consultancy devoted to helping companies and workers “harness the power of rest” in order to shorten workdays while staying focused and productive.

Recently, Texas has been all over the news for its new, controversial abortion law that prohibits the procedure after six weeks while also allowing almost any private citizen to sue abortion providers…or literally anyone who assists a woman to get an abortion. That could mean Uber drivers, family, friends, and others. But, does the public agree with this? In 2019, we asked adults, “With respect to the abortion issue, do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice?” 57% said they were pro-choice, 35% said they were pro-life, and 8% were unsure. Between those pro/anti poles, however, is a LOT of gray area. On September 14th, California voters will decide whether to recall Governor Gavin Newsom. This will be the second time in California’s history that a recall election for Governor has happened. How will it turn out?

Despite broad public support for leaving Afghanistan to Afghanis, Americans are not pleased with how the troop withdrawal happened. Biden’s overall approval rating has slid to a new low in a new NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist Poll , at least in part, as a result. Even approval of Biden’s handling of the pandemic has dropped a bit, despite the number of “vaccine refusers” declining and most vaccinated Americans telling us they’ll take a booster shot, according to another new Marist/NPR/PBS Newshour Poll . NPR Correspondent, Hansi Lo Wang joins Poll Hub this week to talk about new Census data that’s gotten a lot of attention – the apparent big decline in the number of white Americans since the 2010 Census. But his reporting shows it’s not that simple. How the Census classifies “whiteness” and how Americans answer race questions has changed.

After 20 years, US troops were leaving Afghanistan for the last time, when the Afghan government and security forces collapsed under Taliban advances.

Poll Hub is produced by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, home of America’s leading independent college public opinion poll, the Marist Poll.

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, where do Americans stand on the issue of voting rights? We look at the latest polls and break down the latest developments in this highly charged, partisan issue. And, President Joe Biden has been in office for nearly six months. What propelled him to office? The team takes a look at a new report out of the Pew Research Center. Plus, it’s time to take the field, or the court, or the pitch. Sports are at the heart of this week’s fun fact.

This week, Eric Adams was projected to be the winner of the Democratic primary for New York City Mayor (and most likely the Big Apple’s next mayor). Adams’ victory may be a road map for Democrats on the national stage on how to balance the debate over police reform. We discuss Adams’ victory and his uncertain path to the nomination. Then, what’s next in the fight against COVID-19? President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70% of Americans vaccinated against the virus fell short. With a large proportion of Americans hesitant to get the shot, will the nation ever reach that milestone? We pick up that discussion. And, it’s a controversial blast from the past! Hear Lee’s “fun fact” on this week’s Poll Hub. (Guess we were in a New York City kind of mood.)

Our latest poll is out, and we're breaking down the data on Trump's legal woes, Biden's approval rating, and the 2024 election. Then, we're switching gears to something more otherworldly... aliens. With the latest House hearings on ETs, we are looking at Americans' very weird and somewhat confounding views on such questions as, have aliens visited, are UFOs spaceships, and is the U.S. Government covering it all up? But maybe best of all...are clients friendly? Finally, we finish with a look to the past about the future of working. What would you say to a three-day workweek?…
One of the most prominent culture war issues of our time is also one of the most dangerous...for kids. Transgender health care and rights are front and center in our political debate and, recently, conservatives have moved to focus on trans kids. We look at where Americans land in this discussion and dig into how schools are - and aren't - helping the children they're supposed to be educating and protecting. Next, almost no one argues America faces a housing crisis. There are simply too many people unable to find affordable homes to rent or buy. One problem is many Americans support programs to add housing but reject programs to do so in their own neighborhoods. We explore why that's probably more than just a case of NIMBYism. Finally, a fun fact that addresses the most important part of your day… the meal you can’t go without!…
We begin by looking at the results of our new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll. A majority of Americans agree that climate change is affecting their communities--whether from wildfire smoke, blazing temperatures, or disastrous floods. However, since 2018, the number of Americans who think climate change is a major problem or should take precedence over economic growth has decreased. We discuss why that might be. Next, how soon is too soon? A question the Poll Hub team asks as new numbers reveal that Trump is taking a clear lead amongst his GOP competitors. We discuss trends we have seen in the past, and if this election cycle is likely to follow. We end with a poll asking which animal would be the most preferable replacement for the bald eagle-- and let's just say that no one's first pick was a catfish.…
Barbie is the hottest movie of the summer AND a battle in the culture wars. For this segment, we kicked the men out of the studio so the women on our team could talk about the journey Mattel's doll has made throughout the years. The intergenerational panel talks about the movie's themes of gender roles and feminist perspectives. And, as the movie faces mixed reviews, we hear reactions from the women on the Poll Hub team on which parts of the movie resonated with -- or confused them -- the most as well as their personal anecdotes surrounding Barbie dolls. Then, we bring the men back for a fun fact on a quality a majority of women find to be important in a husband. Don't worry-- it can easily be learned!…
Most Americans believe that it is the government's responsibility to ensure the safety of the food they eat. Yet, opinion divides about whether or not these institutions have the best interest of the public in mind. With the World Health Organization's recent concerns about Aspartame, a common sweetener present in some of our food and drinks, individuals may be more likely to set aside diet sodas. Yet, other food safety concerns may overshadow the importance of this one. Then, while AI has been perceived as a means of cheating, some experts believe it can improve the classroom experience by fostering critical thinking. AI may prove to be a powerful motivator and tool for educators, but there are still challenges to overcome. With many people facing extremely hot weather this summer, the thermostat is one attempt at temperature regulation. But, what exactly is the magic number? The Poll Hub team is divided on this one!…
Between the floods in NY and New England, the vast and historic heat wave across the Southwest, Canadian forest fire smoke creating historically bad air quality, and the earth having multiple back-to-back hottest days in recorded history all over the past month , you might not think climate change is still an issue. But, you’d be wrong. Still, a LOT has changed in how Americans think about it since Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth made it a mainstream issue. Next, voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Hey Google are in many American homes. We use them to turn on lights, check the baby, play some music, and add groceries to the list. They are the most ubiquitous form of AI but is this price of convenience a big threat to our privacy? Drew Prindle @GonzoTorpedo is a Senior Features Editor @DigitalTrends and joins the pod to answer that, and other questions that Siri and Alexa won't. Finally, the fun fact is pretty simple. How many pairs of shoes do Americans own? Is it sexist for Jay to think he knows how this will stack up by gender? Or is it sexist for society to force women to need so many shoes... We'll stop there.…
A majority of Americans agree that teachers should be the ones responsible for setting school curriculum. However, book bans and laws prohibiting teachers from discussing content related to racial and LGBTQ+ issues highlight how politicians are getting directly involved in the education system. Public opinion shows parents think that the government has much more important responsibilities in protecting children from harm. The U.S. Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, issued a warning in May about the danger social media poses to children's mental health. The document has recommendations that may not entirely line up with public opinion on the issue. Jacqueline Nesi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University (@jacquelinenesi), helps us decode the warning and suggests that a coalition of efforts will be necessary to protect children. With July Fourth behind us and the rest of summer laying out ahead, it's time to satisfy all of your summertime food cravings! This week's fun fact will have you reaching for...?…
This special edition of Poll Hub represents a break from our past 299 episodes, not only because our student producers researched and wrote it all, but also because we focus on a single topic. We have special segments on earworms, one-hit wonders, and Americans' view of rock music, plus all this: We start with "Why music?" How did a podcast that covers public opinion and survey science end up with a special episode on music? Then, we explore the correlation between a person’s age when a song is a hit and how much they love that song years later. The scientific term for this is “music reminiscence bumps” and it occurs due to the intense emotional and hormonal development that happens during that age. Music creates strong emotional memories. In fact, the emotional attachment grandparents and parents have to the music from their youth carries on to their kids and grandkids. Next, it turns out the music we listen to can tell us about our personalities. Musicologist Nolan Gasser (@nolangasser) tells us how music shapes who we are and how we feel. He's the author of Why You Like It: The Science and Culture of Musical Taste and the architect of the Music Genome Project at Pandora. We follow with some science. It turns out that music can directly impact the chemicals in your body. Ellen Dissanayake , a former Affiliate Professor of Music at the University of Washington and the author of 5 books, describes how mother-infant songs help answer the question, "Which came first: music or language." Then, we turn to the business of music. A lot has changed about the way we listen to music in the past few years, but not as much as the way we buy it -- or don't! Jason Lipshutz , the Senior Director of Music at Billboard, explains how streaming music has overturned the industry, potentially giving artists more control over the careers, while also depriving them of income. And, yes, Taylor Swift is a big part of this conversation. Finally, we end, as always, with a sort-of "Fun Fact" -- this one involving the whole team and each of our brushes with music fame. One member of our team almost ran over the band she was going to see, and another stepped on the toe of a legendary singer but had no idea who he was. Many thanks to the Athen Hollis, Eve Fisher, and Emily DuPointe for their hard work. And additional thanks to all the students over the last five years who've helped make Poll Hub a great show to be a part of...and hopefully to listen to!…
We start out by taking a look at the results of the new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll that was released Friday. The majority of Americans believe that Trump has either done something illegal or unethical. Republicans, on the other hand, still have a very favorable impression of Trump. It means he still likely has the inside line to the nomination, but other data in the poll suggests he would have a very tough time winning the general election if it were held today. While this is all uncharted territory, Nixon and Watergate does offer some parallels, including strong Republican support to the bitter end.…
Many Americans have said the economy is in a recession for almost a year, but it's not. And, economic data shows that things are actually pretty good and/or getting better in terms of unemployment, income, and inflation. Why the disconnect? It's the same for crime – even though crime rates have generally been dropping for decades, a majority of Americans have said, in most years, it's getting worse. We unpack what's driving the divergence. Next, should teachers carry guns on campus? The RAND Corporation decided to ask...teachers, and the results are interesting. Teachers' opinions differed based on location, gender, and race. But, maybe most surprising, when asked about their main safety concerns at school, "active shooters" ranked seventh. "Bullying" was number one by a wide margin. Are we having the wrong conversation? RAND Study We end with a poll from 1965 which asked about predictions for 1985. Amidst questions about whether communism would be defeated and if we'd land a man on the moon, pollsters came up with a very different kind of question that's perfect for summer...even if it's pretty misogynistic to ask it.…
The public health emergencies for COVID are largely over around the world and by nearly all accounts, people in most places are living like they did pre-pandemic. Yet, scientists warn the pandemic is not really over and plenty of risk from variants and new viruses remains. Did we learn anything from last three years? Or are we just happy to have gotten through it? Then, President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made a deal on the debt limit that, barring any surprises in the Senate, should be a done deal before the June 5th default date. There's been plenty of political posturing aimed at swaying Americans but we wanted to know how much Americans actually know about how Congress spends our tax dollars. It isn't pretty. And with Memorial Day behind us, summer plans are coming into focus. If money was no object, where would you go? We checked out how Americans in 1950 answered that question and compared their responses to ours. How VERY different!…
We start with a deep dive into the data of our new poll with NPR and the PBS NewsHour. Americans favor the Biden position of raising the debt limit separately from any discussion about spending cuts, but, if default happens, they would pretty much blame both sides equally. Then, friend-of-the-poll and longtime Texas journalist John Sparks joins us in studio to help us understand if national Democrats should still be thinking the Lone Star state will soon turn purple. Colin Allred – former NFL star and current Congressman – is taking on incumbent GOP Senator Ted Cruz. But is it a pipe dream? And, since Sparks is perhaps the rare Texan who's also a GIANT Yankees fan, the fun fact unites Lee and John is a detailed discussion of polls showing their team to be the most loved...and hated...in major league baseball.…
Since the start of the COVID pandemic, data shows more young people are choosing to skip college. High tuition costs and a very strong job market are partly driving this but, if it continues, will those who passed on college suffer over the long term? And, how can the economy deal with fewer skilled workers? Next, how much do you recycle? Polls show Americans are very pro-recycling and many of us do our part. But we look at data showing a lot of recycling might be going in the garbage. Finally, with graduation season upon us and the last day of school approaching, we found a Fun Fact from 1949 that asked Americans their thoughts about how students could spend their summers more "productively"...…

A new book called Culture Shock explores how the pandemic affected the workplace and offers data-backed solutions to employers grappling with the new normal: Workers reluctant to come back to office full-time and employers desperate to fill those desks. Gallup's Jim Harter and Jim Clifton wrote the book and Harter joins us to discuss. A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows Biden with a new low in support that lags behind both Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. There has been a lot of coverage around this poll. People say it's an outlier, plain inaccurate, or that the journalists are incorrect about it. We break down the facts. Last but not least, we have a fun fact pitting Mother's Day and Father's Day against each other.…
While marijuana is still federally illegal, it's legal in nearly every state for recreational or medical use -- or both. But new health studies raise the question, have states moved too far, too fast? We look at both public opinion data showing a lightning-fast change in public opinion and scientific research showing pot may not be as benign as many think. Then, our star team of student producers come to the other side of the microphone to talk about something they know much better than the regular geezer hosts: Does Gen Z face a tougher life ahead than their parents have? Athen, Eve, and Emily tell us how new polling data on that very question squares with their own experiences. Finally, the whole gang joins for a fun fact about the one thing everybody -- well - all but 7% in one poll - loves. Ice cream!!…

It’s LGBTQ+ Pride Month in much of the U.S. with the post-COVID return of the big annual parades in NYC and San Francisco. Seems like a good time to look back at how quickly Americans’ opinions moved on a key issue to the community -- same-sex marriage. Pollsters didn’t even ask about it until the mid-90s and two decades later, it was the law of the land. But does that mean similar acceptance will come at a similar trajectory on other concerns to the queer community such as trans rights? And, Infrastructure Week is back! Well, not exactly, but the Senate seems closer than it’s been in at least a decade to cobbling together a bipartisan bill to rebuild some of America’s allegedly crumbling infrastructure.

With her signature faux pearls and white hair, former First Lady Barbara Bush became an American icon. But her influence far surpassed that of the wife of one president and mother of another. As Susan Page, Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today and author of The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty , expounds upon in eloquent detail, Mrs. Bush quietly, yet powerfully, impacted the policies in the administrations of her husband and son and shaped public perceptions of sensitive issues in the 1980’s, including the emerging AIDS epidemic. On this week’s episode of Poll Hub , Page, who received unprecedented (and surprising) access to Mrs. Bush’s personal diaries, joins our round table. Page describes Mrs. Bush’s role in the White House but explains why those years were not the defining moment of her life.

Can the nation move on? What does the release mean for the Trump Administration and for President Donald Trump’s job approval rating? We take on those questions and more on this week’s episode of Poll Hub . Then, does the use of data differ when strategizing for a not-for-profit organization versus a political campaign?

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub , podcasting has marked a milestone. How? We speak with Tom Webster, Senior Vice President of Edison Research about the results of its latest Infinite Dial study. But first, President Donald Trump invoked recent poll numbers to bolster his argument that the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is a “witch hunt.” Is President Trump’s assertion an appropriate use of the data? We take on that question and explain the outrage of some highly regarded pollsters. Did someone say “foul?” It’s that time of year when hope springs eternal for Major League Baseball fans.

This week marked one year since the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. According to the latest national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll, the urgency for Congress to act on gun control measures has waned, but consensus exists on specific legislative proposals to curb such violence. The survey, which reveals notable racial differences, also presents attitudes toward school safety, opinions of the Parkland students and their impact on the gun debate, and views of the NRA. We discuss it all on this week’s episode of Poll Hub . Then, we take a look to 2020. No, we’re not discussing the horse race but the changing demographic landscape and what it means for the next presidential electorate. Our thanks to Pew Research Center for laying the groundwork.

The release of our latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll generated extra attention. Poll watchers, including President Donald Trump, took note of an increase in the proportion of Latino Americans who say they approve of Trump’s job performance. In this week’s episode of Poll Hub , we provide context to that finding, explain what it means and what it does not mean, and share some of the challenges of polling the U.S. Latino community. (Check out the Pew Research Institute for more information.) Then, citizenship and the U.S. Census. The Trump Administration’s decision to resurrect and include a question about citizenship in the 2020 U.S. Census has drawn ire and lawsuits. Recently, a federal judge in New York ruled against the addition of the question. But, that is far from the end of this debate. Where does the census go from here? What is at stake?

Money, money, money. It’s no doubt it makes the world go ‘round, but it also throws some into a tailspin. On this week’s episode of Poll Hub , Mary Meyn, Vice President at Edison Research, stops by to discuss the results of the latest Marketplace-Edison Research Poll. Which gender loses more sleep over their personal finances? We’ve got the answer. But first, we take a look at new poll numbers from NPR, PBS NewsHour , and The Marist Poll. With the government shutdown now at historic length, who do Americans blame for this epic gridlock? Have their opinions of President Donald Trump and Congress been altered as a result, and do they consider a shutdown a good tactic to reach consensus on policy issues? Also, President Trump’s approval rating is down, and cracks in his base are showing. What are the implications for his 2020 reelection bid? Do members of his own party want to see him challenged in the primary? And, who is the most popular potential Democratic candidate for 2020? (Hint: He’s pretty much a household name.)

The exit polls have drawn criticism in past elections, especially in 2016. Is there a value in conducting exit polls? Have there been any changes made to the process? And, what the heck do terms like “leaning,” “too close to call,” and “too early to call” actually mean?

The NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll has been closely tracking Americans’ opinions of the testimonies of Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. But, beyond the sexual harassment allegations and the FBI investigation, are there implications for the midterm elections? We take a look at the latest poll numbers. Plus it’s a poll controversy (no not a political scandal) in New Jersey. Why did the Stockton University Poll draw fire for its latest survey of the New Jersey Senate race between Robert Menendez (D) and Bob Hugin (R)? Was the criticism warranted? Our expert team provides its assessment. And we’re getting extra wonky this week. The Marist Poll is not immune from criticism. The Poll Hub team directly addresses the argument that we should weight our polls by education level and shares the results of a research experiment.

The NPR/Marist Poll does show a drop in the president’s approval score among those in one very significant part of the country. The Poll Hub team explains.

Rack ‘em up! The Marist Poll and battleground state polling partner NBC News have completed a dozen state polls since the beginning of the summer. On tap this week – Missouri, Indiana, and Tennessee. On this week’s episode of Poll Hub , the team takes a close look at the dynamics driving the contests. High on the list is Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill’s re-election bid. According to the NBC News/Marist Poll, only four points separate McCaskill from her Republican challenger Josh Hawley. And it could come down to how well the candidates are defined in the state. In Indiana, independent voters are profoundly impacting the electoral landscape. How is this playing out in the U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly and Republican Mike Braun?

Why does timing matter? We have the answers. Plus, he’s baaack! Harry Enten, Senior Writer and Analyst for CNN Politics, returns to the Poll Hub table. Enten recently asked the Marist Poll to survey President Donald Trump’s job performance on a scale from excellent to poor. Enten explains why that question wording allows for a deeper dive into the president’s job approval rating especially in comparison to past presidents, and what those opinions could mean for this year’s midterm elections.

The Marist Poll has just released comprehensive data both nationally and in the upper Midwest. In this edition of Poll Hub , the team provides a detailed analysis of the electoral climate. In the latest NBC News/Marist Poll numbers of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, President Donald Trump’s approval rating is upside down. Trump surprised pundits when he narrowly carried Michigan in 2016. With an open seat governor’s race on the line, Senator Debbie Stabenow up for her fourth term, and multiple initiatives on the ballot, there are signs Michigan could revert to blue. The team picks up the analysis including a discussion of the key demographic groups on which to focus this midterm season. In Minnesota, Hillary Clinton narrowly defeated then candidate Trump. This electoral cycle, Minnesota Republicans face an uphill climb. Though Tim Pawlenty is well-positioned to win the Republican nomination in his quest to re-claim the governorship, he trails his potential Democratic-Farmer-Labor opponents in hypothetical general election contests. The Poll Hub team assesses the contest plus looks at Tina Smith’s chances to win the U.S. Senate seat she inherited from former Senator Al Franken. Which groups drive the narrative in Minnesota? We’ve got that answer. In Wisconsin, where the Tea Party helped propel Governor Scott Walker to victory in 2010, Walker now faces possible defeat in his current re-election bid. Plus, many say Walker does not deserve to be re-elected. What’s going on? Plus, a look at whether or not Paul Ryan’s constituents approve of President Trump’s job performance in this episode of Poll Hub . Then, a look into the NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll national survey findings. In a survey conducted completely after President Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the poll uncovers Americans’ attitudes about the United States’ relationship with Russia, the legality and ethics of President Trump’s interactions with the nation, and whether or not Americans want President Trump to be tougher in his dealings with Russia. Like the upper Midwest, President Trump’s approval rating nationally is upside down, but Republicans stay committed to him. The president’s silver lining is the economy. What does this all mean in the context of the midterm elections? We answer that question plus explain the emerging role of women, Democrats, and voters under 30. A busy day for Poll Hub .

Following the Trump/Putin Summit and the President's European allies trip, there has been bipartisan outrage over Trump's friendliness towards Russia. Some have called the President's performance traitorous, disgusting, worrisome - but there's no evidence that Congress, led by Republicans, will actually do anything. And that's probably smart politics on their part. And why did 538.com's Nate Silver describe the Axios story on their own Survey Monkey poll of battleground state Senate races in 2018 this way? The Axios treatment of this poll is basically "How to repeat all the errors the media made when covering polls in 2016, in one chart" . We've got a pretty good idea.

In this episode, Jay DeDapper speaks with Benjamin Wittes -- Editor in Chief of Lawfare, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, and author -- about the risks of releasing this sensitive information and what it means for the oversight Congress has over the intelligence community. Also, this week – President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union Address. The Poll Hub team discusses the post State of the Union “bounce” and what the polls taken immediately after the speech mean (and don’t mean) for the president.

Some have been transparent with their data and methodology, others…not so much. And then there are the poll averages. The widely reported Real Clear Politics’ last poll average prior to Election Day had Republican Roy Moore up by 2.2% over Democrat Doug Jones. The final results will likely have Jones winning by roughly 1.5%. Is this a polling problem or a reporting problem? We talk this over with Amy Walter , National Editor of the Cook Political Report and then discuss the implications of the Alabama results on the 2018 midterm elections.

Allegations of sexual misconduct against the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, Roy Moore, have rocked the special election in the state.
