Poll Hub


Debate Breakdown

October 09, 2020


On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we dive into this wild week in the news. First, we take a look at the polls post Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis. Pollsters can barely get the polls out fast enough before a new piece of news is revealed. How are Americans responding to Trump’s diagnosis?




Then, we take a look at Biden’s lead as new polls come out in reaction to the first presidential debate. How did voters feel about the first presidential debate and the vice-presidential debate? Is there anything at this point that can change the trajectory of the election? We discuss on this week’s episode of Poll Hub.




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.
