Surveillance Teams on Wheels: Street-based Researchers Grabbing Bites on the Go

In the 200th episode of the show, several key topics were explored, including the state of President Trump's job approval, predictions for the 2020 Presidential race, the role of socialism in politics, and the introduction of the first-ever Frito-Lay snack index.

The discussion delved into the 2020 Democratic primary, examining the possibility of primary challenges to Trump and the potential traction a Howard Schultz candidacy might garner. The episode highlighted Joe Biden's strong support among key demographics, such as African Americans in South Carolina, which was pivotal in shaping the primary contest and eventually leading to his nomination [3].

However, the episode did not provide direct evidence or data on the specific influence of factors like Roger Stone's legal and political controversies or shutdown delays on Trump's approval numbers. The government shutdown debate, which was discussed, involved political conflict in Congress over funding, potentially affecting public opinion due to policy disputes regarding Medicaid and food-stamp program cuts and work requirements that could reduce healthcare coverage [4].

The episode also touched upon the internal divisions within the Democratic coalition, as reported by NBC News/Wall Street Journal [5]. Meanwhile, the 2019 World Economic Forum revealed that socialism was a popular topic of discussion [6].

Unfortunately, the audio quality of the episode was slightly compromised due to Margie being in a taxi and Kristen being out of the studio. The episode also mentioned ProtectTheInvestigation.org and GBS Strategies in relation to the discussion [7].

In a separate report by NBC/WSJ, America was reported to be heading in the wrong direction [8]. This reflects the ongoing political and social discourse that continues to shape the landscape of American politics.

As always, further targeted research would be required for more detailed polling data or analysis on these specific influences.
