In the Game

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we’re discussing the results of our latest national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll. With less than three weeks until Election Day, where does the presidential contest stand? Can anything change its trajectory? Do Americans consider the Trump Presidency to be a success or failure? We break it down. And, it’s time for a change of pace! Jane McManus, Director of the Center for Sports Communication at Marist College, joins the team to discuss our new joint venture. The topic: the declining viewership of live sports broadcasts. Spoiler alert: there are different reasons for different demographics. And, don’t forget to check out our series of free, short online courses. It’s called The Marist Poll Academy. 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.
