The Pollsters

Kristen is on the road and Margie’s still in the closet but we head right into the eye of the Trummania storm.

 

Four questions about Trump polling:

 

is this bump real? (Do the polls reflect real trends?)

What’s driving it?

Will it last? Is this just a “fling”?

What will this do to the GOP brand?
