On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, with less than two weeks to go until Election Day, Americans are offering an interesting perspective on the state of the nation. How do they feel about their financial picture, their health and well-being, their community, and society and government? We dig into the latest America Now: National Outlook Index.

Then, all eyes are on the race for the White House, but let’s not forget the power of the U.S. Senate. We discuss the most hotly contested Senate races on the ballot and the possibility of the chamber turning blue.

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.
