#57: Exit polls or it didn't happen

Show Notes

Don’t forget to listen to our recent interview with Nate Cohn from the NYT/Upshot--he dishes on the headlines to one of his stories recently, talks about great graphics, and more.     Poll of the week! Boaty McBoatface beating David Attenborough for the name of a new ship. At least it’s also beating “I love big boats & I cannot lie.” NERC Name Our Ship   Exit polls or it didn’t happen! How did the polls do this past Tuesday? And what’s next for the sleepy-town portion of the primary? AZ GOP poll Wisconsin GOP poll California poll Margie & Patrick (Kristen's biz partner) & others in fivethirtyeight   A poll you may want to punch in the face Wallet Hub/Survey Monkey YouGov/HP on Trump rally violence Quinnipiac on Trump rally violence Gallup on Trump favs Trump vs. Clinton general election Bloomberg/Selzer   You scratch my SCOTUS & I’ll scratch yours Merrick Garland polling shows he’s on track with past successful nominees. But there’s probably more to it than that. NYT/CBS on SCOTUS Gallup on Garland vs other past nominees   From the department of obvious Women want a job that pays more. Just like men. Go figure. HBR on Millennials leaving their jobs The Upshot/NYT on careers losing value   Thank you Easter bunny Does your family have a plan? National confectioners assoc poll   Key findings: Boaty McBoatface might have a better chance of stopping Trump at this point. Is Trump inciting violence? Responsible for violence? Or making people poll about violence? Sadly, even these questions divide us. In the coming weeks, we’ll turn to something surprisingly less controversial--the Supreme Court vacancy. What do women want? Same thing as men. What do all parents want this Easter? A plan to keep the candy under control. Good luck with that!
