On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, more Americans are foregoing social distancing to gather in small groups. What’s behind this change in public opinion? Are Americans ready to return to normal and, if so, under what conditions? We take a look at the latest poll numbers.

Then, one poll of the Lone Star state recently received a lot of attention and criticism. We tell you why on this week’s episode of our podcast, Poll Hub.

Don’t forget to check out our series of free, short online courses. It’s called The Marist Poll Academy.

About Poll Hub

Poll Hub goes behind the science to explain how polling works, what polls really show, and what the numbers really mean. 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. Lee Miringoff (Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion), Barbara Carvalho (Director of the Marist Poll), and Jay DeDapper (Director of Innovation at the Marist Poll) dig deep to give you a look at the inner workings of polls and what they tell us about our world, our country, and ourselves.
