Senate Stakes

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we turn to the U.S. Senate. Is there a viable pathway for the Democrats to regain control of the chamber? Which seats are the most competitive, and what is the potential effect of the top of the ballot on these contests? We’ll tell you. Then, a new phase begins for the Class of 2020... under the most unusual of circumstances. We speak with Marist College graduating senior Jay Silver about his experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, how he’s preparing to tackle graduate school, and his advice for the Class of 2024. Plus, we answer a little “fan mail!” 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.
