The team kicks off this episode discussing the data from our latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll. We go through everything from Biden’s approval rating to election fairness, from pandemic stress levels to vaccination mandates. What do our results mean and how do they stack up to what other polls are finding?
Pollsters like us have a rare opportunity to gauge the reliability of our surveys. When it comes to asking about the vaccination status of Americans, we can benchmark our data against the “hard” numbers reported by the CDC on the number of vaccinated Americans. Usually, the only opportunity to do this is an election. According to Pew Research’s recent analysis, public polling on the COVID-19 vaccination has aligned very closely with the CDC’s data.
Finally, we discuss one of the most controversial debates of our time. Do you prefer Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts? Or is it just Dunkin’ now….
