Poll Hub22 Mars 2019

A Podcast about Podcasts?

On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, podcasting has marked a milestone. How? We speak with Tom Webster, Senior Vice President of Edison Research about the results of its latest Infinite Dial study.

But first, President Donald Trump invoked recent poll numbers to bolster his argument that the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is a “witch hunt.” Is President Trump’s assertion an appropriate use of the data? We take on that question and explain the outrage of some highly regarded pollsters.

Did someone say “foul?” It’s that time of year when hope springs eternal for Major League Baseball fans. Opening Day is days away, and Poll Hub’s intrepid baseball fans, Dr. Lee M. Miringoff and Dr. Barbara Carvalho, have returned from Yankees Spring Training in Tampa. While on the ground, Miringoff, Carvalho, and good friend to The Marist Poll John Sparks had the opportunity speak with baseball fans about the current state of the game, including rule changes and ticket prices. You know how we love to ask questions! And we have the answers for you on this week’s Poll Hub!
