Dive into the groove: 230 brings the labor action!
In the latest episode of the popular podcast "Politics. Policy. Polling. Pop Culture.", hosts Margie Omero (Democrat) and Kristen Soltis Anderson (Republican) delve into the numbers driving the week's biggest stories, including the 2020 presidential campaign.
The podcast, which can be found on Twitter and Facebook, takes a fresh, friendly look at the data from various polls and surveys. Recent posts on the podcast include insights from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Western New England University, and the University of New Hampshire, analysing voter shifts and key presidential primary data.
One of the topics discussed in the episode is the impact of the third debate in the 2020 presidential campaign on the election outcomes. Despite contentious exchanges, analysts note that such debates generally serve as reinforcement for existing supporters rather than changing many undecided voters.
Another topic covered is the Iowa voter surveys. While early Iowa caucus polling often serves as an early indicator of candidate viability and momentum, the specifics of 2020 Iowa surveys showed significant volatility and shifts among Democratic candidates before the caucus took place. These shifts influenced the narratives and media coverage but did not definitively determine final election outcomes.
The hosts also touch upon Trump’s approval ratings throughout the 2020 campaign, which remained relatively stable but polarized. They had a stronger correlation with election results than the debates or state-level surveys, as approval ratings reflect broader public satisfaction with the incumbent’s overall performance, influencing turnout and candidate support.
In addition to analysing data, the podcast occasionally features interviews with pollsters, journalists, and other industry leaders. Steve Kornacki, for instance, tweeted crosstabs from the NBC News/WSJ survey.
The podcast aims to lift the hood on the numbers revealing the hidden secrets of the public's mind, providing insights that are approachable, straightforward, and easy to understand. Other related posts on the podcast include analyses of Montana State University Billings polls and an exploration of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The podcast does not discuss the Union Approval Near 50-Year High (Gallup), the study by the Institute of Labor Economics, Germany, or the study by Pew Research on working moms and dads. However, it does provide a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the 2020 presidential campaign, offering valuable insights for those interested in politics, policy, polling, and pop culture.
