Last week, I sat down to talk with Jeremy Zogby. Jeremy is a partner at John Zogby Strategies, a data analytics firm founded by his father, the famous pollster John Zogby. He is the editor of The Main St./K St. IntelligenSEER, a biweekly report, and co-host with his father of The Zogby Report: Real and Unscripted, a weekly podcast.

In this first half of the interview, Jeremy and I discuss the nature of market research and political polling, the current state of political polling in the United States after the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, and the division and tribalism in the country. During the second half of the interview (to be released in two weeks), we discuss the possibilities of secession and/or independence in the United States, as well as some recent polling results on secessionist sentiment.

This interview was recorded on August 2, 2021.
