In a decidedly different edition of our show we get to take a look at the state of our politics from the other dugout - from the pollster who took a leave of absence from Harvard to join the 2020 campaign of Joe Biden. John Della Volpe is the author of a new book entitled Fight: How Gen Z is Channeling Their Fear and Passion to Save America.

As Joe Biden's approval numbers tumble, Della Volpe looks back to what made the campaign successful in the first place. (According to the latest Pew Research poll*, the President is currently underwater with the 18-29 age group with 35% approve-63% disapprove.)

Della Volpe is the Director of Polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics. The Washington Post referred to John as one of the world’s leading authorities on global sentiment, opinion and influence among young Americans in the age of digital and social media.
