Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is considering a 2020 presidential run as an independent, and Democrats are in panic mode. On this episode of Poll Hub, our crackerjack team looks at the role of previous third party candidates and assesses how they impact the prospects of major party candidates.

Then, we speak with Hugo Balta, President of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ). Balta and the NAHJ expressed concern about our latest national survey results which included Latino Americans’ opinions of the president. In a candid and open discussion, we address those concerns and lay out a plan for future collaboration with the NAHJ.

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.
