January 24, 2020 Obstruction and Interference
On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, Brett Neely, an editor with NPR’s Washington desk, joins the discussion. Are Americans confident that this November’s elections will be safe and secure? What do they think is the biggest threat to the integrity of the nation’s elections? Neely offers his insight as we discuss the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll on election security.
But first, what would a Poll Hub episode be without a discussion of the primaries and caucuses? This week, we take up the change in how Iowa caucus results are reported and the implications of the narrative going into the New Hampshire primary.
Plus, why are Lee’s feathers ruffled? You’ll find out.
