The Pollsters

Last week we had our biggest download day ever! So now some debate post-game to follow up that pre-game.

 

Feeling the Bern in New Hampshire

 

The latest polling shows Sanders up in New Hampshire, but the interesting data is beneath the surface.

Trump: 1st is the Worst

 

More people said trump did worst job in debate than said best job. Yet why is he still leading? Two recent online polls shed some light, including one from Kristen’s firm Echelon Insights. We also talk about the growing acceptance of online poll methodology, including Google Consumer Surveys.

 

MSNBC/Survey Monkey poll

CNN/ORC IA GOP poll

Echelon Insights poll

Washington Post/Monkey Cage

 

Pessimism on race

 

Both Gallup and Pew show more now worried about race relations. Although there are a few silver linings on hopes for the future.

 

Gallup on race: Release #1Release #2

Pew poll on race

 

Work/Life balancing acts

 

There’s no shortage of studies on work-life balance. Washington Post and the New York times make the economic case, and others show some interesting demographic breakouts.

 

Washington Post Poll on work after kids

NYT article on millennial dads

NYT Upshot 8/10 article - Can Family Leave Policies Be Too Generous?

 

Key Findings

 

NH is feeling the Bern! But the interesting stuff is beneath the surface.

Trump is still strong in the polls. Despite having the worst debate performance. Go figure.

Across the board people are worried about racial tensions.

And we still see major gender divides and struggles over work-life balance.

Perhaps whatever the topic, online studies are improving.
