The Pollsters

Thanks for all the great feedback, gang! Let's all take next week off, but if you’re desperate for more Pollsters, listen to our interview with Chuck Todd (#39).

 

Poll of the week! May the polls be with you:

Just like there is constant Trump polling, there is constant Star Wars polling. That’s as close as Margie’s getting to a movie theater.

Those Millennials--they know how to pare down a holiday to its bare essence.

This holiday, no need to be embarrassed by your family when there are still so many candidates to be embarrassed by?
it seems like voters are increasingly worried about security & terrorism, but will it drive voters in the primary or the general?
Spoil Star Wars for Margie! But it’ll cost you.
Be like a Millennial & have a great holiday with your family & friends.
