Don't Eat With Your Hands

On this 5th Anniversary episode, Kristen and Margie are joined by founder of FiveThirtyEight Nate Silver. Nate founded Five Thirty Eight after being tired of the media covering politics with a lack of data.Iowa PrimaryThe three cover the topic of Iowa and how the polls should be looked at along with the actual results in Iowa. Nate breaks down Iowa’s system of using preferences in voting in their primary process and discusses how that makes Iowa difficult to poll.The Des Moines Register, Ann Selzer poll was not published due to an error in polling. However, it was ended up being leaked prior to the Iowa Caucus. Nate believes that human error is a part of anything in life, even polling. In the case of the Ann Selzer poll he believes that the errors in the poll could have been fixed and published at a later date, instead of the chaos that ensued with the errors in the poll due to a tight deadline that was set.Models in PollingA model is a statistical algorithm that produces results. In polling models are statistics that are used to represent the world. Nate discusses the difficulties behind trying to build a model for the entire Democratic Nomination process. He shares that FiveThirtyEight focuses on predicting the outcome and as a result they focus more on topline numbers. The Silent Trump VoteIt has been claimed that silent Trump voters played a role in the 2016 election, Kristen asks Nate if silent or shy Trump voters could play a roll in the upcoming 2020 Presidential election. Find Nate Silver on Twitter @NateSilver538Listen to the FiveThirtyEight Podcast Here!Learn more about your ad choices.

#176: Red Vs. Blue. Beer Vs. Wine

Dialing in from the road: Kristen on her hometown Orlando. Margie on her pet issues of LGBT rights and stronger gun laws. Can this year get any crazier? Polling suggests maybe not.   Orlando’s implications on gun laws, threat of terrorism, and LGBT safe spaces We try to make sense of the gun polling--views on terrorism, on an assault weapon ban, and more.   Margie’s picks on how to take action on Orlando  Bloomberg Politics National Poll  CBS News poll  YouGov poll post San Bernardino  YouGov poll just before Orlando  Pew Research poll on religion and support of LGBT rights  Quinnipiac poll on gun laws  Pew on guns  Gallup on terrorism  Gallup on terrorism &amp; guns    A bad week for Trump Trump’s had a terrible time in the news this past week. And voters seem to be moving away from him.   Real Clear Politics average  NBC News poll  Yougov/Huffington Post poll with open ends on the candidates  Trump thinks he discovered polling  Confidence gap What’s this newspaper thing of which you speak?   Gallup poll shows low confidence in newspapers  Harvard Study of media coverage of the 2016 election    From the department of sports Hockey fans are different than basketball fans. And Philly Phanatic fans are different from everyone.   YouGov poll on NHL vs NBA fans  Public Policy Polling on the Phanatic    Key findings:  Take some time this week to not only think about the tragedy in Orlando, but about gun violence prevention--all of it. What are you doing this week to reduce gun deaths? At the pollsters, we’ve always known the polls were a big deal, and we value the press--but perhaps we’re alone? Whether you’re a Phillie Phanatic fanatic or an extroverted hockey fan, you probably think this election is crazy--and that’s putting it nicely. Learn more about your ad choices.

#130: The Polls That Might Drive You To Drink (8/24/17)

To the angry reviewer who complained we do too much advertising and propaganda--this show’s for you! We promote our own stuff, and lament the sad Trumpian state of affairs. Hope you like it.   Poll of the Week: The On-Demand Economy It is more than just a ride to the airport or your lunch delivered.   PSB/Burson/Time article on the future of work  Full research deck    Is there a time machine that can take us to a non-Trump universe? What happens when we change up the competition?   HuffPost general election tracker  SurveyMonkey: Clinton vs. Not Trump  Reuters poll on racial attitudes of candidates’ supporters  Kristen contemplates a future for the GOP  The Atlantic: most American Christians think they’re victims of discrimination  Full PRRI/Brookings report  WP/Monkey Cage on authoritarianism  Politico Magazine on authoritarianism    Lee Greenwood, call your office We hope you’re one of 52% that does this 4th.   Gallup poll finds a 16-year low in American patriotism    What do Congressional staffers think about their job security after november? There could be major changes in both the Senate and the House.   CQ Roll Call: Democratic staffers are increasingly confident    Wine &amp; Sushi forever We trust the experts.   NYT poll: do nutritionists and the public agree?    Key findings:  You may think of the on-demand economy is just about being about a taxi to the airport or a sweetgreen salad to your office, but employers are thinking about this trend more carefully. Trump voters--just like Trump--are not your typical Republicans, particularly when it comes to views on race. If we don’t talk about it openly now, we won’t be ready for the post-Trump-ocalypse Elections have consequences, according to DC insiders. That doesn’t mean scoring White House tour tickets, but maybe a change in both the Senate and the House? Hope you celebrated the fourth by being proud to be Americans. And if not, hopefully you ate some wine, sushi, tofu, or hummus, in true, multi-culti American fashion. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#179: Bruce Mehlman On Tech & Bipartisanship

Mad-Man style, or Rhoda Morgenstern, either way we love  this Medium post &amp; review from Michelle Thomas of Javelina. We forgot all about the cat videos!   Poll of the week: News alerts! Are you living in a media bubble? You might be if you think *everyone* is living in a bubble. And how many people get news alerts on their phone?   Pew on news alerts  NYT/Upshot on "echo chamber"  Gallup on lack of trust in the media    Breaking: Morbid, er, Morning Consult poll This new Morning Consult poll leaves no stone unturned on the presidential health issue.   Morning Consult on candidate health  Morning Consult crosstabs    2016! Today’s forecast is... Today’s forecast looks a lot like yesterday’s forecast.   Huffington Post/pollster averages  Slate's poll of poll of polls  The Upshot vs. Princeton vs. 538  FiveThirtyEight forecasts  RCP vs. Huffington Post average methodology The "Primary Model"    Non-voters &amp; new voters. More myths debunked Once you look at these Pew numbers, get ready to re-read The Selfie Vote.   Pew on changing party compositions  NYT/The Upshot on non-voters    The one poll in the world you could predict with certainty The internet meme that will never die.   The Daily Mirror on Harambe McHarambeFace    Key Findings  Today’s forecast looks a lot like yesterday’s forecast. But it’s not clear if it’s time yet to get out your umbrella. Lots of myth debunking going on out there. Check your assumptions folks! It’s a good thing we never did an online poll about the name of our show, or it may in fact become those two hens. When 2016 gets a little crazy, reflect on some simpler times, with cat videos, old 70s sitcoms, or back episodes of The Pollsters. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
