Holiday Spending

Is the holiday season more fun or more stressful? In this episode of Poll Hub, we share the results of that very question from our latest national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll. And, if it’s holiday shopping that has you stressed out, sit tight. Alina Selyukh, business correspondent at NPR, joins the discussion. Along with the Poll Hub crew, Selyukh breaks down our latest poll numbers about Americans’ holiday shopping habits. From the evolution of brick and mortar stores to digipay, we’ve got you covered. Plus, we share some of our Christmas traditions and memories on this edition of Poll Hub. About Poll Hub Poll Hub goes behind the science to explain how polling works, what polls really show, and what the numbers really mean. Poll Hub is produced by The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, home of America’s leading independent college public opinion poll, The Marist Poll. Lee Miringoff (Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion), Barbara Carvalho (Director of The Marist Poll), and Jay DeDapper (Director of Innovation at The Marist Poll) dig deep to give you a look at the inner workings of polls and what they tell us about our world, our country, and ourselves.
