On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we introduce the Marist Poll’s America Now: National Outlook Index. This simple measure assesses Americans’ views about their finances, health, and vision for the future. The baseline results are out, and we have all the details on this week’s episode. For even more information, head over to our website, maristpoll.marist.edu.

Then, science is central to understanding the COVID-19 pandemic, but do Americans trust medical doctors and scientists? Our friends at the Pew Research Center have a new analysis out. We pick up that topic and run with it on this week’s Poll Hub.

Don’t forget to check out our series of free, short online courses. It’s called The Marist Poll Academy.

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.
