On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, the Democrats wrapped up a powerful convention filled with political and celebrity heavyweights. Will it translate in the polls? We look at what history tells us and assess whether and why this year could be different.

Plus, the United States Postal Service has taken center stage this election season. We discuss the concerns about mail-in voting and why the issue has become so politicized.

And, don’t forget to check out our series of free, short online courses. It’s called The Marist Poll Academy.

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.
