This time on Poll Hub, our latest poll with NPR and the PBS NewsHour has gotten a lot of attention and the team is breaking down all the data. You'll want to listen, this poll is jam-packed. Also, for the better part of half a century white workers have enjoyed higher rates of employment than black workers, but new data show this gap might be shrinking. Finally, this week's fun fact looks at only children and twins. What's worse?!?
