On this week's episode of Poll Hub, Peter Enns, professor at Cornell University and co-founder of Verasight, joins to explore how polling is evolving beyond traditional approval ratings. Rather than focusing solely on top-line numbers, Enns discusses how researchers are digging deeper into public opinion to better understand nuance, intensity, and underlying motivations. As a lead researcher on The Breakthrough polling project, Enns is helping redefine how we measure public opinion by incorporating open-ended responses, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis. These tools allow researchers to capture, not just what people think, but how they think — revealing patterns in language, emotion, and reasoning that often get lost in standard survey questions. Then, we turn to dreams. We examine how factors like stress, anxiety, sleep patterns, and lifestyle habits shape the likelihood of experiencing nightmares, and what the data reveals about who is most affected. We also share some of our own dream experiences and dive into what may influence recurring dreams or why some people remember their dreams more vividly than others. From stress levels and major life changes to sleep quality and personality traits, we explore how both psychological and environmental factors can shape not just what we dream about, but whether those dreams stick with us after we wake up. And, for this week's fun fact, we take a look back at marijuana use in the 1960s and compare it to today. What was once associated with counterculture movements has become far more mainstream, with usage patterns shifting dramatically over time. It's a fascinating snapshot of how attitudes, and behaviors, evolve across generations.

PLUS: more on the deadly ICE chase in Chatham & how one conspiracy theorist & his debunked claims seem central to the Fulton / FBI raid Ron caught up with Wendy Davis, former Rome city commissioner, Congressional candidate and co-host of Kudzu Vine, for a straightforward look at polling throughout the country in red districts, why Democrats feel more confident about Sen. Jon Ossoff's 2026 race, and how affordability and tariffs are still hitting voters - and are likely about to get worse. Ron and Wendy break down the messy special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene and discuss the crowded GOP field, Trump's endorsement drama, and Shawn Harris' strategy as he tries to compete for votes outside the Democratic party while keeping Democrats in his camp. There's more to learn (and discuss) in the aftermath of an ICE-induced high-speed chase where a Savannah school teacher was killed by a fleeing immigrant. A controversy once thought to be just happening in sanctuary cities like Minneapolis is at the heart of this tragedy: poor (if any) communication between DHS/ICE and local law enforcement. Also, Ron caught up with ProPublica investigative reporter Doug Bock Carter, who uncovered the source for much of the flimsy rationale behind an affidavit that led to the FBI raiding the Fulton Elections facility for 2020 ballots.

CBS lawyers ordered Stephen Colbert to cancel a live interview with Texas State House member and Democratic Senate candidate James Tallarico, citing pressure from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and a newly threatened expansion of the equal time rule to late night entertainment programming. Colbert filmed the interview anyway in front of his live studio audience, then was told he could not air it, could not mention it, and could not even show a photo of James Tallarico during the broadcast. He did all three.The decision is widely seen as CBS pre-emptively complying with the Trump administration to protect the pending merger between Paramount and David Ellison's Skydance Media. Sherry Redstone already declined to renew Colbert's contract, with the show ending in May, a move many view as direct appeasement of Donald Trump. This follows ABC and Disney paying Trump $16 million to settle a defamation suit involving George Stephanopoulos, and previously pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air under the same FCC pressure from Brendan Carr.Tallarico posted the banned interview himself, framing it as the interview Trump didn't want you to see. Polling shows both Tallarico and Jasmine Crockett performing strongly against John Cornyn and Ken Paxton, and Anderson Cooper simultaneously announced he is leaving 60 Minutes after nearly 20 years over editorial interference tied to the Trump-aligned direction of CBS under its new Ellison ownership.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should Gallup continue to track presidential approval ratings? Gallup is ending a 90-year tradition of measuring presidential approval, stepping away from the very metric that has defined modern political accountability—from FDR to Trump and Biden. Michael explores why the polling giant is exiting both horse-race election surveys and now approval ratings, whether political pressure or business strategy is driving the shift, and what it means in an era of historic polarization. Do approval ratings still serve a vital civic purpose, or have they become little more than partisan ammunition? Your vote at Smerconish.com frames the debate.

Tara breaks down the escalating battle over the SAVE Act and why the Senate filibuster may decide its fate. The episode dives into internal Republican tensions, voter turnout risks, and the political consequences heading into the midterms. With growing frustration from the conservative base, the conversation explores whether Senate leadership is genuinely backing election integrity reforms — or simply providing political cover. The show examines arguments surrounding voter roll transparency, federal oversight, and controversial claims about election security. Tara also unpacks the strategic importance of turnout in midterm elections, the role of party unity, and how social media pressure is reshaping political accountability. From polling data and legislative strategy to the broader stakes for Trump's agenda, this episode is a deep dive into the political chess match unfolding in Washington — and why the next few votes could shape the future of Congress. ⚡ PRIMARY TALKING POINTS SAVE Act controversy and Senate filibuster debate Concerns about political “cover votes” vs. real legislative action Republican leadership divisions and base voter frustration Midterm election turnout dynamics and party morale Claims and debates surrounding voter rolls and election security Polling data and public support for election reform policies Strategy behind forcing controversial votes to define party lines Legislative gridlock and the future of Trump's agenda Social media activism and grassroots political pressure
Modern democracies rest on elections. They are the main way voters are supposed to shape what governments do. In theory, elections ensure that public policy reflects what people want. But does that actually happen in practice? Political science has long been divided on this question.One side of the debate argues that elections can work as intended. Voters understand the difference between left and right. They have a sense of where political parties sit on that spectrum. They broadly know where they themselves stand. And they choose which party to support on that basis.Another influential strand of research is far more sceptical. It suggests that most voters do not have clear or well formed policy preferences at all. And when they do, those preferences often come after choosing a party, not before. Voters identify with a party first, then adopt that party's positions as their own.This debate has been running for decades. But a new book offers a third perspective that could help move things forward. It argues that the debate has set the bar too high for what counts as a meaningful voter preference. Once we measure preferences in a more realistic way, a clearer picture starts to emerge.One of the authors of that book is our very own Ben Lauderdale, friend of the podcast and Professor of Political Science here in the UCL Department of Political Science. We are delighted that Ben joins us this week to walk us through the research and what it tells us about how voters really think.Mentioned in this episode:Idiosyncratic Issue Opinion and Political Choice, by Nick Vivyan, Benjamin E Lauderdale, Chris Hanretty.

It seems like a two-way race for the Democratic nomination in Georgia's gubernatorial race, between frontrunner and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, and former DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond. That's as the latest polling and campaign contributions are reported. But Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson tell host Lisa Rayam, It's not over till it's over -- the numbers are still murky, and there's still a chance for candidates in the single digits to push forward. Meanwhile on the Republican side, GOP titans are dominating campaign contributions in this race. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On January 7, 2026, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother and poet, in Minneapolis. One week earlier, an off-duty ICE agent killed Keith Porter Jr., a Black father of two, on New Year's Eve in Los Angeles. No charges have been filed in either case.Dr. Jason Johnson—professor, MSNBC contributor, and political analyst—argues that Democrats should make abolishing ICE central to their 2026 midterm campaigns. His case isn't just moral—it's political. Polling shows 46% of Americans support abolishing ICE, higher than support for abolishing the IRS. Yet Democratic leadership remains silent.In this urgent conversation, Jason breaks down why ICE's absence from pop culture creates a unique political opportunity, how ICE spending is an economic justice issue, why this agency operates as a secret police force, and what it means for Democrats to actually be an opposition party. The question now: will Democrats have the courage to act?RESOURCES & REFERENCESDr. Jason Johnson's Work:Article: "Democrats need to run against ICE in 2026" (MSNBC) - https://www.ms.now/opinion/abolish-ice-polls-democrats-midterms-2026 YouTube Channel: Dr. Jason Johnson (Three Things series)Book: Political Consultants & Campaigns: One Day to SellBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A political race war blew up in the Texas Democrat Party race for U.S. Senate last week and it is still erupting on the national level.Now, the Democrat Caucus leader in the Texas House, old Gene ‘Boo Hoo' Wu is having his race war comments exposed. It's all evidence that the Democrat Party wasn't just the party of slavery, racial segregation, and the KKK, it is still the party of racial separatism and conflict.And note the polling data (see page 14) just out on the Dem race for U.S. Senate – that party is massively divided upon racial lines.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.The University of Houston's Hobby School of Public Affairs has released new polling on the Republican and Democrat races for U.S. Senate as well as sentiment on President Trump.

Democrat Chastity Martinez just crushed Republican Brad Daigle 62–38 in a district that voted for Trump by double digits. That's not just a win; that's a 37-point swing in a district that reliably votes Republican, or does it? How are voters there actually making decisions now, and what still cuts through party identity? What lessons can politicians take from a district like this? John Couvillon, a Louisiana-based pollster & founder of JMC Analytics and Polling, joins Ian Hoch to explain what's going on.
The nation's persistent affordability crisis continues to leave large majorities of Americans deeply concerned about the state of the country and dissatisfied with national political leaders and, as Newsline learned in a recent conversation with KFF senior survey polling analyst Dr. Shannon Schumacher, nowhere is this better evidenced than in the field of health care. As Schumacher told us in a recent conversation, new KFF polling finds that the combination of soaring costs and frayed and uncertain insurance coverage has left millions of people worse off than they were just a year ago and deeply concerned about the policies, actions and inactions of the Trump administration and congressional leaders as we look forward to the 2026 elections.

Last week, over 26,000 schools and groups held National School Choice Week celebrations to encourage parents to explore school choice options – including open enrollment, charter schools, magnet schools, microschools, homeschooling, and private schools – and urge policymakers to expand them. Shelby Doyle, Senior Vice President of Policy and National Partnerships for the National School […]
Polling shows an overwhelming majority of Americans think you should have to show an ID when you go to vote. So why are the Democrats so adamantly against it? Jason thinks it's time to go ahead and pass it. What say you?
2-5-2026: Wake Up Missouri with Randy Tobler, Stephanie Bell, John Marsh, and Producer Drake
We start with updates in the Nancy Guthrie case, including a new reward for information tied to Savannah Guthrie's mother, before diving into the disturbing implications of dumping Epstein documents without accountability. New revelations connect powerful elites to Epstein, including resurfaced emails, Woody Allen's inner circle, and commentary from Bill Gates' ex-wife. The show then turns to explosive political developments: a federal judge blocking Haitian removals heads to the Supreme Court, while Democratic figures spark outrage with rhetoric seemingly justifying violence against ICE agents. Shocking protest footage includes racial slurs hurled at a Black ICE agent and a protester openly threatening murder. The culture war continues with Billie Eilish facing backlash over “stolen land” comments at the Grammys, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson applauding anti-ICE rhetoric, and mounting criticism of celebrity hypocrisy. Finally, we dive into Candace Owens' latest controversies, the Daily Wire publicly blasting her, escalating personal attacks involving Erika Kirk and her family, and why many believe Candace has crossed a line — prompting calls for accountability from Catholics and conservatives alike. 00:00 Intro01:00 AI Scott Adams Account & Ethics of Using AI to See Loved Ones03:55 Nancy Guthrie Case Update & New Reward10:40 Jill Biden's Ex-Husband Charged With Murder13:40 Epstein Files Fallout: Emails, Elites & Media Silence27:00 Judge Blocks Haitian Removals — Case Headed to SCOTUS28:30 Dem Rhetoric on ICE Sparks Outrage & Violent Protests41:45 Sen.

Today's episode dives into major policy and legal developments shaking the nation: 1️⃣ Gender-Affirming Surgeries: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends delaying surgeries for minors until age 19, citing evidence that many children's gender dysphoria resolves naturally. This comes after a $2M malpractice lawsuit in New York, raising questions about consent and ethics. 2️⃣ ICE Drawdown in Minneapolis: 700 ICE agents are being pulled out amid violent anti-ICE protests and illegal roadblocks. Messaging failures from the White House have left conservatives frustrated, while Democrats exploit public confusion. 3️⃣ Immigration Polling & Enforcement: Public support for deporting illegal immigrants remains strong (61–73%), yet political missteps threaten enforcement and electoral strategy. The fallout demonstrates how messaging and leadership decisions directly impact public perception and policy.
David Waldman has a million things to tell you today… and almost does. Elon Musk's "X" Paris office has been raided. France, United Kingdom and Spain are charging Ex-Twitter of algorithmic manipulation and the distribution of child sexual abuse content. Hey, it's not a crime to hang out with pedophile content providers, is it? Greg Dworkin is there all the time in fact, mostly on assignment, of course. For example, polling. You just can't find that anywhere else. Polling shows that people are beginning to miss Joe and want Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem to go away. White non-college folks are even drifting away. Gops now wonder if they kicked around Latinos maybe a bit too much. Republicans are presently so hated that Democrats are actually beginning to look good to voters. Indeed, Dems might even be considered to be better than the lesser of two evils heading into the midterms. Democrats still have 9 months to ruin things, which is plenty of time. The House shut down the partial shutdown, except for DHS funding, as Gop John Rose likes them young and is the one vote margin. ICE asks if you and whose army will make them unmask, ID themselves, and generally follow the Constitution, but first, you'll have to figure out who they are. Marimar Martinez was shot 7 times with 5 bullets, making her the bullet hole pin-up of the DHS. Slaughter of innocents may seem passé at the moment, but the feds still have their ways. Judges complain that so many of them enjoy being petty dangerous bullies, that there is hardly anyone left to do the paperwork.
The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Media and its Democrats keep saying the ICE operations to arrest and deport illegal aliens is going to kill Republicans in the mid-term elections – but what does polling actually say? Do American really oppose aggressive immigration enforcement? A major poll has numbers that grossly contradict the leftwing narrative: More than 60% of midterm voters support deporting illegal immigrants, poll finds.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Texas Democrats get about a day to gloat over their surprise Senate District 9 special election victory before they devolve into a race war in their U.S. Senate primary contest: Colin Allred unleashes on James Talarico over alleged ‘mediocre Black man' comment Texas Democratic Senate primary erupts after Talarico accused of remark about ‘mediocre Black man' Democrat Talarico, who said God is ‘nonbinary', now says atheists are more ‘Christ-like' than Christian colleagues Houston Chronicle editorial, among the longest I have ever seen for an endorsement, tells Democrats they need to support Talarico because he's less extreme outwardly and talks like Democrats of old – Ha! He sure does…. “mediocre Black man!” Many Texas public schools seem to be supporting students leaving class for leftwing agitation events. This has to stop whether Left or Right, class time is class time. They can learn all their First Amendment rights outside of school hours.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

- Gerry tears into Democrats for reviving the claim that voter ID laws are racist, calling it a transparent excuse to protect election fraud. - Chuck Schumer's “Jim Crow” comparison is dissected as unserious, cynical, and wildly out of touch with how voting works in the rest of the world. - Street interviews in Harlem blow up the narrative that Black Americans can't get IDs, exposing the argument as elitist and insulting. - Polling data shows public support for deportations and ICE enforcement remains strong despite nonstop media attacks and celebrity outrage. - The episode skewers legacy media with a brutal takedown of a Gavin Newsom Vogue puff piece, portraying it as a symptom of total journalistic collapse.

There's a story with which all media is very consumed today. It's sad, yes. Stigall hopes it ends well. But the way it's being discussed, who might well be involved, and the coverage of it all really made Stigall hot and he spends some time unpacking a truth in it that he'll warn you - isn't comfortable to discuss but likely what you're thinking. JD Vance unloads on anti-ICE Democrats. Treasury Secretary Bessent announces a brilliant new objective for national security here at home. Are the Clintons about to testify on Epstein and why the newly released stuff is not at all what most Trump critics continue to wish. Polling for Democrats continues to be brutal and money raised by the GOP is huge. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New polling suggest people are fed up that President Trump is not holding up on his side of the bargain. They overwhelmingly want ALL illegals deported, they don't want the admin in bed with the same corporations that sought to destroy Republicans lives during the Biden Regime -- most importantly, they want AMERICA FIRST!

As violence and unrest in Minnesota continues to dominate headlines, legacy media claims the public's support on ICE and President Trump's immigration agenda is dwindling.

Trump tells the Norwegian Prime Minister that he no longer feels an "obligation" to peace because he didn't receive the Nobel Prize and announces that he's imposing tariffs on a series of NATO allies until "a deal is reached for the complete and total purchase of Greenland." Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss these latest developments and Trump's billion-dollar entry fee for the Board of Peace. Then, they cover the latest from ICE's occupation of Minneapolis, including the Justice Department's investigations into Mayor Jacob Fry and Governor Tim Walz, and break down some positive polling about the Democrats chances in the 2026 midterm elections. Then, Tommy talks to Jason Zengerle about his new book, published by Crooked Media Reads, that explores the rise of Tucker Carlson — "Hated by All the Right People."
