Poll Hub

With little more than a month until the 116th Congress convenes, a new dynamic has washed across Capitol Hill. What is the atmosphere on the Hill? Will Rep. Nancy Pelosi survive the threat to her leadership? What are the challenges that Republicans and Democrats face? Will the House bring impeachment charges against President Donald Trump?

Poll Hub welcomes McClatchy’s Congressional Editor David Lightman to provide his expert analysis.

And, consensus among polls can be rare, but it occurred on this year’s generic congressional ballot question. What does this agreement tell us about polling? Plus, a look at the 2020 nightmare scenario bandied by political analysts and commentators… on this week’s podcast episode.

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.

In this week’s episode of Poll Hub, a very special interview with Marist College students, Amelia Morel ‘21 and Alexandria Watts ‘20.

Morel and Watts, students participating in The Marist Poll’s newly minted Newsfeed program, received the opportunity on Election Night to assist in The Marist Poll’s election analysis from WCBS NewsRadio 880. What were their impressions of this unique educational opportunity? How did this experience fit into their larger career goals, and what the heck is The Marist Poll Newsfeed? We’ve got the answers.

Forget Election Night! How about Election Week or Election Month? As more votes are counted, the narrative from Election Day has shifted, indicating a larger wave for the Democrats than first reported on Election Night.

What does this mean for pollsters, prognosticators, and journalists as they (gulp) look ahead to the 2020 presidential election? Senior Writer and Analyst for CNN Politics Harry Enten re-joins the Poll Hub table to help us break it all down.

Then, our team shares the results of The Marist Poll’s initial post-election analysis. Who showed up and who didn’t in Indiana, Tennessee, and Missouri? Which voters were most likely to change their minds in the last days of the campaigns? Poll Hub’s got you covered.
