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.
