The Pollsters

This week Kristen has some family time and we have a special guest co-host of Kellyanne Conway of the polling company/WomanTrend. Kristen will be back next week.

 

2016: We revisit four questions about Trump-mania. And get ready for Biden-mania?

 

Is it real? Will it last? What’s behind it? How does it affect the Republican brand?

Both Biden and Sanders are doing better in the polls. But does that really mean Clinton is vulnerable?

Guns

 

Before the tragic shooting of two reporters Pew released some tracking of views on guns. Widespread agreement about specific gun proposals, yet the dialogue remains partisan.

Back to school

 

It’s back to school, and back to polling. Kellyanne and Margie agree on something, prompting Beckett to fall asleep.

 

Gallup/PDK survey on public schools

 

Key Findings

 

Maybe the Dem primary is getting more interesting than the GOP primary? Could that be?

The polling on stronger gun laws doesn’t change much, and sadly the number of gun crimes doesn’t seem to change much either.

On education, there is more agreement than disagreement across demographic and party lines--even on our own show!
