Nevada, Minnesota, and Wisconsin – three states that will be critical during this year’s midterm elections.

On this week’s Poll Hub, the team goes behind the numbers of the latest NBC News/Marist Polls of Nevada, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Among which groups is enthusiasm for the midterm elections strongest? Where do the candidates need to make inroads? And, did the contentious Senate confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh make a difference in the court of public opinion? We have answers.

Plus, likely voter models, persuadables, and sample size – it’s time to put our poll geek hats on!

About Poll Hub

Poll Hub goes behind the science to explain how polling works, what polls really show, and what the numbers really mean. Poll Hub is produced by The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, home of America’s leading independent college public opinion poll, The Marist Poll. Lee Miringoff (Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion), Barbara Carvalho (Director of The Marist Poll), and Jay DeDapper (Director of Innovation at The Marist Poll) dig deep to give you a look at the inner workings of polls and what they tell us about our world, our country, and ourselves.
