Brewing a beer to sip during your Brexit discussions: A novel tactic for morning debates
In the latest episode of the popular podcast "Politics. Policy. Polling. Pop Culture.", hosts Margie Omero (Democrat) and Kristen Soltis Anderson (Republican) delve into a variety of topics that are shaping the current political and cultural landscape.
The podcast kicks off with a discussion on the Brexit referendum, analysing the latest polling results which indicate that fewer than a third (approximately 29%) of UK voters would support Brexit again if a referendum were held now. This is a significant drop from the 52% who voted Leave in 2016. Interestingly, nearly half of the population favours holding another referendum on whether to rejoin the European Union.
The age-based divisions in Brexit support are also highlighted. Younger voters tend to be more pro-EU, while older voters are generally more likely to support Brexit. This generational divide contributes to the overall decline in Brexit support as younger cohorts become a larger share of the electorate.
The episode also explores the polling for the 2016 US election, with current polling results indicating that Clinton holds a modest edge over Trump. The poll of the week focuses on insights about Father's Day ads and the US parental happiness gap.
In addition to these topics, the podcast features occasional interviews with pollsters, journalists, and other industry leaders, and delves into America's most memorable jingles. The soundbooth is back in action after a vacation, ready to lift the hood on the numbers and reveal the hidden secrets of the public's mind.
For those interested in delving deeper into the world of polling and statistics, related posts on the podcast's website include "Evaluating Student Perception Surveys", "The Impact of Nielsen Surveys", "Melding Probability and Statistics", and more.
Stay tuned for next week's episode, where the hosts will continue to discuss the numbers driving the week's biggest stories in news, politics, tech, entertainment, and pop culture.
