In an era where political divisions and hyper partisanship are the norm, Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard and author of the new book Conformity, sets out to explain the manifestation of this intense tribalism. On this episode of Poll Hub, Sunstein describes how conformity aligns with peer pressure but, then, digs deeper into its significance in today’s culture. He expands upon how conformity is necessary to maintain a civilized society but can also be a double-edged sword. He also expounds upon how defiance and independence are opportunities for social change.

While Americans with the most extreme views on abortion fuel the debate in the United States, most Americans’ opinions fall somewhere in the middle. On this episode of Poll Hub, we explain the results of the latest national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll on abortion and assess what the implications might be on the 2020 presidential contest. Then, how old do Democrats think their party’s nominee for president should be? We have the answer compliments of the Pew Research Center. And, Sunday is Father’s Day!

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. She shares how Mrs. Bush’s experience losing a young child to Leukemia served as her guiding light in formulating her opinions and perspectives on the most pressing issues of her time.

The University of Pennsylvania just released the results of a longitudinal study which examines racial prejudice in the United States during the age of Donald Trump. While conventional wisdom has claimed prejudice has increased, researchers out of the University of Pennsylvania maintain there is evidence that it may be on a decline. On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we take a deep dive into the study and assess how these statistics compare with other data on the subject. Then, we speak with Scott E. Page, professor at the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor and the author of The Model Thinker. In this insightful interview, Page explains what it means to be a “model thinker,” the benefits of the theory, and what pollsters can learn from this approach.
