On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, the COVID-19 pandemic has sent shockwaves throughout the world. Where do Americans stand on re-opening the U.S. economy? How do they perceive President Donald Trump’s handling of the crisis? Do they think their state governor is better skilled at managing the situation? And, what has the impact been on the 2020 presidential contest? We have the results of the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll.

And, the team takes a look at the recent crop of battleground state polls. What can we assess with six months left until Election Day? Hear our take.

Plus, Poll Hub’s number-one fan joins the discussion. You’re not going to want to miss this!

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.
