Numbers Show Stronger Support for Black Lives Matter Movement Over Donald Trump with Drew Linzer of Civiqs

ICYMI yesterday's announcement, the Poor People's Campaign is holding a Mass Poor People's Assembly and Moral March on Washington on June 20th; every day leading up to that day of action, we'll be featuring real stories of struggle and poverty to raise awareness and make the subject a priority. That's what you'll find at the top of the episode, and today's speaker is Antoine, a 23-year-old fast food worker who only makes $7.25 an hour. The rest of today's episode is also about numbers, but of a different kind. Mark talks about Civiqs and polling quite a bit with founder Markos Moulitsas, but today we've brought in the organization's Director, Drew Linzer, to dive deeper. Civiqs has polled opinions towards the Black Lives Matter movement on a daily basis since 2017, and right now in the United States, it is the most favorably viewed political organization or politician among any national organization--including Trump and the former favorite, Barack Obama. Hear the breakdown of demographics for who is supporting the BLM movement, the process behind Civiqs' polling, what makes their data reliable, and how Americans are polling on other cultural topics including the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and COVID-19 racial data.
