Let the Games Begin!

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by 11 points nationally among registered voters. What does Trump need to do to close the gap? Is his base of support still strong? And, how do the candidates fare on the issues driving the contest? We break down our new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll results. Oh, yeah, we’re also talking about Biden’s pick of Kamala Harris as his VP. And, Real Clear Politics recently found itself in the middle of a controversy. What the heck was going on? We’ll tell you. Plus, the Census... 2020 posed unique challenges for the decennial census. Now, the deadline has been moved up? We have the details. 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.
