The Pollsters

With New Hampshire in our rear-view mirror, Pollsters, take a bow. And then take a moment to write a review on iTunes, or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.

 

In New Hampshire, the winner is: Pollsters!

The pollsters were right this time around. Are you surprised? We’re not!

We’re all news junkies now

Pew says almost everyone is getting news about 2016. (Hey, but what about podcasts?)  

2016! You can’t escape it!

 

We’re all revolutionaries now

People seem open to a “political revolution” but also fear big government. Try reconciling that.

Key Findings

Take a bow, pollsters! Just like about 7 or so remaining candidates, we live to fight another day.
And by the way, be thankful that person breathing down your neck while you’re crunching the numbers is not ALL OF AMERICA. Because then you’d be Joe Lenski.
We asked a Millennial if young women vote according to where the boys are. She said no. I’m sure this means this won’t come up again.
People are more worried about big government than big business. But yet want to expand government. One of the many reasons nearly all of America is gripped to the news this election season.
