2016
Trump has a classy pollster. Meanwhile, slow and Rubio wins the race? Are you ready for some Biden? We take a question from activist Deray McKesson. And Kristen has a new poll showing Republicans agree climate change is happening.

Echelon Insights poll on climate change

NYT: Focus group of one
Boehner: Out. Anger: In.
Boehner has resigned, but it judging by these numbers, it’ll take a lot more to turn around these sad Gallup numbers on how people view our government.
Gallup - Majority want a third party
Gallup - Trust in media at record low
Gallup - To know Congress is to hate Congress
Gallup - People don’t even trust their own Member of Congress anymore

So let’s shut the whole thing down?
Well, not quite. Most people oppose shutting down the government to stop funding for Planned Parenthood. Even Republicans.

More Canada!
Listeners, you’ve spoken, and you want more data on Canada. We’re here to deliver. Apparently releasing a poll publicly is “guerrilla warfare.” It’ll take more than that to raise an eyebrow in these parts.

Globe & Mail story on “questionable results”
The most current polling on OJ Simpson.
We know you’ve been wondering: what is the polling on OJ Simpson these days? Well, the Post has been wondering too.

Hey, what’s up listeners?
We love it when dating apps release their data. They should be called dating data apps. And among which group can talking about Taylor Swift get you a date?
Vox
Key Findings:
Our best pollsters pickup line may be, “Who would you prefer to go to Canada with: Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, or Ben Carson?”
Our worst pickup line: “Hey, what’s up Donald Trump?” And that may be how he begins his focus groups of one.
If you’re feeling despondent about the government, like most of Americans—celebrate International Podcast Day instead.
But we (and most Americans) hope you don’t have too much free time on your hands with a government shutdown.
