The Pollsters

Hi all! Great work with all your micro-assignments! The theme this week is Twitter, so micro-assignment #3 is to tweet out a recommendation to the show with a link. The link is important! You can use this iTunes link, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also RT links from our Twitter feed.

Whether it’s ISIS, the refugee crisis, or racial tensions here at home, the polling shows Americans are worried.

Pass the Government Roles please

People may want smaller government, but even Republicans see a government role for education and the environment.
