Poll Hub

Nevada falls early on the 2020 presidential primary and caucus calendar. So, why are there so few polls about the Democratic contest? In this week’s episode of our podcast, Poll Hub, we speak with Jon Ralston, Editor of the Nevada Independent. Ralston shares the significance of Nevada in the electoral process, dispels some of the myths, and explains the changes the Nevada Democratic Party has made to the 2020 caucuses in the Silver State. Oh! Be sure to check out the Nevada Independent’s candidate tracker to find out where the Democratic candidates are traveling in the state. But first, President Donald Trump recently took on the Fox News Poll. We take a look at whether or not that criticism is justified from a polling perspective. This is Poll Hub!

Americans are still reeling nearly one week after the horrific mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. Images of grieving loved ones, crime scene investigations, and memorial services have unfortunately become all too common in American society. Will these recent tragedies finally bring about change? In this week’s episode of Poll Hub, the team assesses Americans’ opinions about gun restrictions in the United States, including areas of consensus and the largest points of disagreement. Then, the Democratic primary debates have amplified the split between the progressive and moderate wings of the Democratic Party. But, is it much ado about nothing? We explain.

The African American vote has become critical in presidential elections, especially in the race for the Democratic nomination. However, there are key moments in the history of the African American vote that catapulted it into such prominence. On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, Steve Kornacki (@stevekornacki), National Political Correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC and author of The Red and the Blue, joins the discussion. Kornacki dives into a newly released research project conducted by NBC News. Journey to power: The history of black voters, 1976 to 2020. This record is the first that chronicles the black vote for each competitive Democratic primary campaign since 1976.

This week’s Poll Hub podcast digs deep into the data from our latest national survey. Why do majorities of Americans say President Trump is doing a good job on the economy but say they will definitely vote against him in 2020? The Poll Hub team has some possible answers. Then, the HuffPo’s (@HuffPostPol) Polling Editor Ariel Edwards-Levy (@aedwardslevy) joins us from Washington to explain why so many pollsters are up in arms over a recent Axios post. The story reported on a poll about how Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) could spell trouble for Democrats in 2020. The problem is the poll was anonymously leaked and Axios provided no details about how it was conducted, who paid for it, who was polled, or question wording – making it impossible to evaluate the accuracy or credibility of the survey.

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.

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.

Page, professor at the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor and the author of The Model Thinker.

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.

On this episode of Poll Hub, our crackerjack team looks at the role of previous third party candidates and assesses how they impact the prospects of major party candidates. Then, we speak with Hugo Balta, President of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ).

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? And, what is at the center of the controversy? National Correspondent for NPR Hansi Lo Wang (@hansilowang) joins the discussion to share his expertise.

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.)
