On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, a $26 billion settlement was reached with four major drug companies for their role in the American opioid epidemic. We address the state of the crisis and whether or not the settlement goes far enough.

Then, are Americans content in the workplace? We take a look at Gallup's State of the Global Workplace: 2021 Report and discuss the role of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And, we call it “E.T. versus Einstein.” This week’s fun fact is out of this world.

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.
