Class Matters

On this week’s Poll Hub: Class in America isn’t only about money or jobs; it shapes everyday life in powerful ways. New research shows that education and income influence who people consider close friends, how often they visit public spaces like parks and libraries, and even whether they can rely on neighbors or friends in a crisis.These hidden gaps in social connection reveal how class quietly divides communities far beyond economics or politics.We're also discussing our new poll with NPR and PBS News on how Americans are feeling about everything from free speech to whether the National Guard belongs in our cities.And, to wrap it up, we’re rewinding to the 1970s for this week’s fun fact: Were drivers really sticking to the 55 mph speed limit… or speeding right past it?
