On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we discuss the qualifying criteria for this election cycle’s Democratic primary debates. The Marist Poll took opposition to how polls were used during the 2016 primaries to determine inclusion. Have things changed? We pick up that discussion.

Then, Mother’s Day is this weekend! In honor of that celebration, we welcome Melissa DeCesare, a Vice President at Edison Research, to discuss their Moms and Media 2019 study. From the technology moms use to the reasons why they use it, we break down the data. Plus, there may be a last-minute gift idea in the mix.

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.
