Why the Price of Gold and Silver Is So High

from The Right View with Lara Trump · host The Right View with Lara Trump

On this episode of The Right View Lara speaks with pollster and CEO of EyesOver, Chris Wilson, to discuss why Gallup has decided to stop tracking presidential approval ratings and what that says about the current state of polling in America. Chris explains how the flaws in modern polling became clear in 2016 and have only grown worse. With historically low response rates and a growing imbalance in who actually participates in surveys, polling has become increasingly unreliable. He points out that lower response rates often favor Democrats and highlights one of the biggest blind spots in polling today: voter intensity. Campaign energy on the ground and enthusiasm from supporters are nearly impossible to measure, yet they can dramatically shape election outcomes. Later in the show, Lara speaks with Peter Earle, Director of Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research, about why gold and silver prices have surged. They compare today’s rise in precious metals to the spike following the 2008 stock market collapse and discuss what economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and market volatility mean for investors. Peter explains what kind of hedge gold can be against stock market instability and why many Americans turn to precious metals during uncertain times. #goldcopartner Get up to 10% in FREE Gold or Silver at laralikesgold.com or call 855-838-GOLD FB: @goldcopreciousmetals, https://www.facebook.com/goldcopreciousmetalsIG: @goldcopm, https://www.instagram.com/goldcopm/ X: @goldcopm, https://x.com/GoldcoPM YT: @goldcopm, https://www.youtube.com/@goldcopmSupport the show: https://www.therightview.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
