Finally let’s talk about the historical failures of regime change interventions and the geopolitical complexities of Iran, and why a military action could lead to dire consequences.

Today on the podcast we have some fresh data on many of the issues we’re facing today along with a surprise or two.
Much of the media attention tends to focus on the top 1 or 2 issues, typically immigration and the economy – but there are many more issues and challenges on the minds of voters. So let’s talk about some of those issues that may not get mainstream media attention but are nonetheless on the minds of voters.
Beyond immigration and the economy, Americans concerns about health care are very top of mind and we feel is not getting the attention that it probably deserves. So let’s dive into some of the data around the concerns voters have around healthcare.

The presidential race has shifted the conversation dramatically after the 1st debate to whether or not Joe Biden should remain the Democratic nominee. Behind closed doors and increasingly in public, law makers, donors, major media organizations and members of the public are calling for a plan B.
So what should Biden do? He should bow out. The question now is when and how. We’ll lay out the our thoughts on the current situation and discuss what we think the likely outcome is.
What about you? Should Biden stay or go? Send us an email or leave us a comment. Have a great week.

It’s the morning after the great debate and we need to discuss what happened. If there’s one word that can describe the debate that hasn’t been used thus far – it’s disturbing.
Neither of the nominees showed they have a legitimate claim to be president of the United States based on this performance.
President Biden was over-briefed, throwing statistics and numbers that missed the mark. Combine that with a terrible opening, and Joe Biden did not earn a 2nd term here.
Trump degenerated into such a multitude of lies that one could not keep up with them.
Is the most patriotic thing Biden could do is bow out?
Polls first things are showing that Trump performed better but this could be mostly because of how poor Biden’s performance was, not that Trump performed well. This was not a debate, this was a debacle.
What were your thoughts on last night’s debate? Let us know and we’ll see you next time.

We have just about 4.5 months to go until the November elections. It’s a good time to take a deep breath and see where things stand. The short answer is that it’s tied.
When you add the minor candidates in the race the story is about the same with Trump leading by approx. 2%.
But if you look at the race in pieces you get a different story. In a recent story in the Economist, they’re suggesting the likely winner is Trump based on the dynamics in the battleground states.
So let’s dig in and see what’s really happening.

We’ve done another survey of almost 1,200 likely voters with a good margin of error of 2.9% on the subject of hyper polarization. We wanted to know who Americans think represents their values, and more importantly is there any consensus. We asked about organizations, people (including moms) and institutions. The results might give us a bit of hope in these turbulent times.
Let’s get into the data and share the top takeaways and they may surprise you.

Yesterday former President Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts. We’re not legal experts but we want to share some thoughts on what it means for the race and the court of public opinion.
In the short term, whenever there have been legal controversies, Trump has been able to project a sense of being a victim and that has helped him. We also know that voters have told us that if he were convicted of a crime – there are many who have said they would be less likely to support Trump in the race. But timing is everything. Right up until the moment of the verdict we see the polling converging. Given where the polls stand, we do have a potential for a lead switch, with Trump losing support among some independents.
We’ll look at this event through the lens of polling as well as psychology. A lot has to do with how Trump will respond in the coming weeks. When we look at the all important battleground states that will decide the election, Trump still leads.
So what are your thoughts? How do you think this will impact the race if at all?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb_wvgw-vIoWe poll likely voters all year round. But how likely are today’s likely voters going to be likely voters in November? Are there facts that may cause them to not vote between and then?
In our business we’ve learned that there can be changes that can have profound effects. Most likely voters are committed. But there are also people who are less committed to a candidate but also who are less committed to voting at all. This year, we’re going to suggest that it’s much more volatile than usual, and it’s these voters that could decide the outcome.
So what’s likely to happen? Are voters just fatigued already by the constant messaging and negativity in the news and online? How will that affect turnout? What’s the role that AI may still play in this election cycle?
We hope you have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend, and we’ll see you next time.

Today on the podcast let’s dive into what the summer holds for the 2024 election. Will it be a summer for history such as the summer of 1968? That summer marked a tremendous change in the political landscape and was a point where the country was seriously split by the Vietnam war, a large student-led protest movement along with the civil right movement, and a pivotal election. Sound familiar? So what can we learn from what happened in 1968, and how might that inform what we’re seeing across the country this summer?
We’ll leave you with a question that you can offer your own take on….What will the soundtrack of the summer be?
Thanks for listening – have a great week.

Today let’s talk about the Electoral College – it seems like every 4 years we have the same debate about the usefulness or legitimacy of its existence. It was founded around the idea that there would in some ways get a final check against the ‘mob’ when it comes to the presidential election. It also ensured that tiny states like Rhode Island would still have a say in the outcome of the election.
Electors cast their vote on behalf of the state, and the candidate with the most votes from the individual states would win the election. So we have the scenario where a candidate can win the popular vote, but still lose an election, and in 2024 there exists the possibility of an incredibly messy outcome which could be thrown to the House of Representatives.
So let’s talk about it – does the Electoral College still serve us or is it an outdated mechanism that is no longer necessary? Leave us a comment and let us know what you think, and we’ll see you next time.

We need to talk about the elephant in the room, which is the horrible situation in Gaza. This is in fact a political situation as well as a humanitarian crisis. The videos and images coming out of Gaza show a dire situation that has been having a large impact on people and constituencies across the globe.
3 major polls of US Voters show a majority of Americans feel that Israel has gone too far in their conduct of this conflict. This includes members of both political parties as well as independents, and it’s creating disillusionment with the all-important swing voters. So let’s talk about how this conflict’s reverberations are affecting the perception of Israel with a new generation of voters and the state of the 2024 election.

This week – the cover of Time Magazine has Biden on a bicycle with the word Stuck on it. So today let’s talk about the state of the race. In many of the latest polls, Biden is within a percentage point of Trump – so it’s within the margin of error, with Biden building a lead with Independent voters, and a huge fundraising lead.
We also know that a considerable amount of funds raised by Trump and affiliated PACs have been going to pay legal fees. So is this momentum for Biden due to the intense hatred of Trump by many voters, rather than a desire for a 2nd Biden term? In the midst of huge fundraisers by both candidates, Biden faces a number of major challenges including the Maryland bridge collapse and a deteriorating situation in Gaza.
Finally, in Alabama there was a huge upset in the special election 62% to 38% with a campaign based on state court’s stand on IVF and abortion access. This still is a very powerful issue for Democrats. Does this tell us anything about
So where to we stand? Let’s talk about it.

It’s clear that swing voters are the constituency that determines the outcome of our elections. This year we’re talking about the Double Haters – those to who do not like both Trump and Biden. And most of those voters dislike both candidates intensely – and they are still likely voters.
So today, let’s talk about this pivotal group and how they will shape this election cycle. Are these typically likely voters still likely to vote? Will they consider a 3rd party?
What about you? Are you one of those double haters? If so – what’s your thinking on who you will or will not support in the upcoming election? Thanks so much for tuning in. We’ll see you next time.

The state of the union was last night and was perhaps the most important speech of Biden’s life. We’ll add our thoughts to the challenges that he faced including his age, health, Gaza, the economy and more. It was a loud and fiery speech. So how did he do? Did he alleviate any of the concerns that many Democrats have about his candidacy? Does this speech move the needle on any policy roadblocks such as aid to Ukraine or immigration?

Trump won SC convincingly over Haley by over 20 points, but her strategy is one of waiting for Trump to implode and staying in the race in case that happens. But the reality is that the primary voters in the Republican contests so far are decidedly in the MAGA camp.
So what does Haley do? If Trump implodes it’s very unlikely that his delegates would accept anyone but Trump. So how might this implosion happen and how likely is it to happen? And can the public take seven more months of Biden and Trump?

This week, while there were potentially indictable behaviors, the special prosecutor has chosen not to pursue an indictment of President Biden. Was the scope of the investigation out of bounds?
Is Biden dying a political death by a thousand cuts due to his age? Regardless of age – are there any candidates or presidents that can handle the breath of institutional challenges and the lack of trust that has permeated the electorate on both sides of the aisle?
We’re also watching NY Congressional District 3 – a seat formerly held by George Santos – and it’s close. If the Democrats pick up that seat, the Republican majority would shrink to two in the House of Representatives. What’s fascinating is the top issues are immigration and crime and the race may be too close to call.

Today on the podcast we’ll be looking at the current state of the Republican primary race. With DeSantis out, Nikki Haley has to win somewhere and New Hampshire is the place to do it. Is it likely? Not really. In fact, Trump’s numbers have actually been growing. So what do we think might happen, and is there a potential victory scenario for Nikki Haley?

It’s cold here in upstate NY, but that’s nothing like the -40 cold that is being predicted for the Iowa caucuses next week. So let’s talk about the weather – and the current state of the races in Iowa and New Hampshire. Remember that the Iowa caucuses are not a standard vote – participants are in public, and actively seeing who their friends and neighbors are supporting. Current polls show Trump with a giant lead, but Nikki Haley is seeing some momentum.
So, what are some of the scenarios that can play out, and what are the likelihood of each?
We also have some new polling data on Biden Vs. Trump, and it’s an incredibly tight race. On a national average, Biden now has a slight edge but it’s tenuous at best. These polling numbers fluctuate but we’ll get into the cross party vote and how that can affect the state of the race.
Thanks so much for tuning in and we’ll be recapping the caucus next week.

It’s hard to believe that today we enter the 5th year of our Podcast. Thanks to all who have been with us since the beginning as well as our newest listeners.
We’re officially in an election year, so let’s get into what’s happening in Iowa and Nikki Haley. What are her chances to win or have a good showing? A recent poll has her tied but most polls have her and DeSantis well behind Trump. In New Hampshire, she’s a bit closer to Trump and in South Carolina – her home state – she’s putting up respectable numbers.
So let’s look at what needs to happen in Iowa and beyond for candidates like Haley and DeSantis to give them a shot at the nomination. What do the polls say, and what do we think probable outcomes could be? We also have some fresh polling numbers to share on the head to head race in Iowa that are bad news for Biden. Let’s get into it.

There’s a new poll out regarding President Biden’s performance and it’s very bad news. He gets a 39% approval rating which is lower than his predecessors at this stage. But in addition, 58% say that they are worse off than they were before Biden became president. 22% say they are better off. A whopping 73% say that Biden should NOT run again, including up to 65% of Democrats.
So what does this mean? Let’s pick it apart and make some predictions.

On the one hand, when Trump became President, he never received a ‘honeymoon’ period. But on the other hand, he was unique in cultivating his own troubles. Was Congress right to spend so much of its time investigating that administration?
A larger question is perhaps, how many Americans feel that there are guilty parties across party lines, at the tops of both major parties. Have we become so divided that each side is willing to overlook culpability of their own party while placing the majority of the blame on the opposition?
In some of our own recent polling, we found that 70% agreed that BOTH parties are guilty of scapegoating the opposition. We’ll give some new data and a breakdown of this sentiment. Should this give us reason to hope?

Today on this special edition of The Zogby Report we’ll discuss the official announcement of President Joe Biden – now seeking a 2nd term.
Biden enters this race with some clear advantages, first of which is that he beat Donald Trump. But there are also a number of disadvantages, notably the conversation around his age and lackluster approval numbers.
So today, we’re going to discuss what Biden has going for him as well as the major disadvantages he has as we already start looking towards 2024.

Today on the podcast we have some very special data for you that we’ve been tracking.
The first is what we see as a paradigm for the debate of the future – libertarian vs. communitarian. The second set of data involves the status of the American Dream – and what we even mean by the American Dream.
Remember we are also expecting an announcement from President Biden on his formal reelection bid and if that happens we’ll be sure to talk about that in another special edition.
First let’s talk about this new paradigm – libertarian vs. communitarian. It’s an issue that we think about a lot. It’s the emphasis on personal freedoms and free markets vs. communitarianism – the idea that I as an individual get to thrive as part of a community. We have new data around these sentiments from around 1000 likely voters. We’ll get into the details and learnings.
Next, we’ll look at the data around the American Dream and how what defines the American dream has changed. It’s a question of seeking inner peace vs traditional material and social notions of success.

Today Jeremy is reporting from Charleston South Carolina and we’re talking about the state of the political landscape on the Republican side but we’ll spend the bulk of our episode on the results of a new survey that we’ve conducted around American manufacturing.
First, is DeSantis making a comeback? And are Republicans check-mated on the abortion issue? Suburban women who have been voting Republican in recent elections may be abandoning the party in large part due to this issue. So could a savvy Republican tone down the rhetoric on this heated issue?
Next, Xometry is a company that helps the manufacturing and supply chain world run more efficiently and they are looking to understand the pulse of American manufacturing.
So what are some of the latest findings? We’re partnered with Xometry and Forbes to find out.
We spoke to 150 Manufacturing Executives (Presidents, CEOs, COOs) nationally.
Key takeaways:
Manufacturers are optimistic but also are preparing for other potential supply chain shock by overstocking, and 82% are embracing re-shoring of some of their facilities to the U.S.
More than half of our sample say they are investing on AI technologies and many have already seen a return on investment.
When you ask about the likelihood of recession this year though, over half believe one is very or somewhat likely.
Many of the respondents (33%-40%) also were conducting business with Silicon Valley Bank which recently collapsed, but that they feel well positioned to survive and even thrive despite the recent economic headwinds. A majority of them believe the future looks bright.

Today on another special edition of the podcast – while we’re not going to talk too much about the indictment of Trump itself, we’re we’re going to focus on the current GOP primary race, where Trump still dominates. Since Trump has been indicted he now leads DeSantis by 30 points, and with over 50% support by GOP voters in some polls.
What is it that Trump has, that captivates the Republican Party so much? What does it mean for the GOP and the ongoing primary race?

On this special edition of The Zogby Report we’ll discuss the state of debate around assault weapons, a debate that has been raging in the country for decades now. Is a solution or even a national conversation possible anymore?
Additionally we’ll talk about the state of the Republican presidential race. It seems Trump continues to dominate not only the headlines but increasingly has the support of the core base. What’s happening with Ron DeSantis and what can explain some of his falling poll numbers in match ups against Trump?
Thanks as always for tuning in and we’ll see you next week.

Trump may not go down as the worst president in history, but he most likely will go down in history as the worst person we’ve ever had as a president. It seems like multiple indictments are coming from across multiple states.
Taking Trump at his word, it’s likely that he will be indicted this week. Politically as well as legally, is this the right place to start in terms of indicting Trump? Does it make him a martyr and distract from other potentially more serious indictments and national issues such as the state of the economy and recent bank failures?
He’s also called on his followers to protest. So, the question is – what happens next?
That’s it for our special edition – we’ll see you later this week.

Jeremy is in New Hampshire this week, so today we’ll give our listeners a crash course on how we pollsters actually conduct some of our research and interpret the data. And we’ll give you some tools to help you be better at identifying bias, errors and learn what the polls might actually be telling us.
It’s all about reading people’s feelings, and those feeling can change.
Ultimately we’re talking to people. When you talk to people one at a time, they’re complex and unpredictable – at scale these complexities multiply.
So let’s get into it and we hope you’ll find this episode useful as campaign season gets underway in earnest. Have a great week, everyone.

Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene sent out a provocative tweet declaring there is no longer national unity and advocating for a national divorce. The suggestion is that the red states and blue states separate from each other and take on their own models, whether a state favors a more federalist approach or a state’s rights approach.
In our own poling almost 40% expressed some favorability towards nullification or succession. Should this be given more serious attention? Have we reached a point of no return in our national interests and community?
Additionally – Biden’s approval rating is also floating around 47% on average, and yet there is a Rasmussen poll that has Nikki Haley leading Biden in a matchup 45% to 41%. What gives? How does Biden’s approval rating affect the news cycle and the tenor of national conversation? How does it change as poll numbers change? What does the polling say about the country’s enthusiasm for another Presidential run?
Thanks for tuning in everyone, we’ll see you next week.

Up first on today’s podcast we’ll talk about the state of the Republican presidential race. With an official announcement from Nikki Haley and the expectation that DeSantis will enter the race soon, what does the current race look like – and how might it change? Does Haley offer an alternative and more traditional Republican platform, and is it enough to win?
Also today we’ll talk about the terrible rail car disaster in Ohio, the human and environmental impact, and how the story has been covered (or not covered) in national media.

Today we need to talk about the State of the Union message. What is important, a game-changer, or meaningful? We’ll also talk about Florida – why has Biden made the trip there, where Democrats have been getting crushed? What is the strategy? What about the number of Americans who tuned in?
The stakes were high for Biden – would he be a lame duck from here on out or a fighter and someone who plans to run in 2024?

If we look at the polls this week, Biden’s approval rating is hovering around 45% and disapproval is around 52% – these are actually better numbers than he’s posted in a while, even with the revelation of classified documents being discovered at his residences.
Are these the numbers of someone who can be re-elected in 2024? Let’s unpack our own thoughts and look at some of the data to support each of them.
Also, how does the DNC pivot to S. Carolina as the first primary affect his chances?

Recently the Bureau of Atomic Scientists have moved the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight due the increased risk of nuclear escalation, the climate crisis, the war in Ukraine and the breakdown of institutions across the globe.
There certainly is a lot to be concerned about, and many are actively talking about the possibility of WWIII.
Today, we’ll focus on Russia and Ukraine as it relates to forming global coalitions, the situation on the ground and what might happen next.
The question we have for you, our viewers and listeners, is if you believe the Doomsday Clock set accurately this year? Let us know your thoughts and we’ll see you next week.

During the past several years, Congress spent an enormous amount of time investigating Donald Trump. They do have the power to investigate, but to investigate in order to legislate.
And now, with the new Republican Congress, a wave of investigations into the Biden administration has already begun.
Do any of these investigations matter, or are any of them serving the American people? Are we in a post-persuasion or post-truth society? It’s evident that the parties are at war with another, but is it more complicated behind the scenes that deserves more scrutiny?
How can we expect real accountability in congress when it seems like no matter who is in charge – it’s the fox guarding the henhouse.
Finally – recent reports seem to indicate that while inflation is still up, the rate of growth seems to be slowing. This has been helping President Biden’s numbers. As we look ahead to 2024, is Biden reinvigorated?
Have a great week everyone – as always, we look forward to you comments and emails.

What we’re seeing in the House of Representatives with the Republicans inability to confirm a speaker is a travesty. The bottom line is that we have a situation where a small fraction of members can grind the entire process to a halt.
Even after McCarthy has given concessions that may turn the next session into the Wild West. This is not how the body should function, and there is not any sign of McCarthy’s opposition backing down. Is this unique to this congress or yet another example of the entire system fracturing and breaking?
What are the most likely outcomes of this situation? We’ll give you our thoughts on how it plays out.

It’s the last Friday of 2022 and we’re winding down now 3 years of weekly podcasts. Today, we’re going to to look back on this past year and give President Joe Biden a grade.
Was it a salvaged year for Biden? We’ll look at and debate his successes and challenges from the midterm results, inflation, the war in Ukraine, the Inflation Reduction Act, spending bills and other policy initiatives. Spoiler alert – we disagree.
We’ll also share who each of our top Presidents throughout history have been. Will any modern leaders make the list? Who is on your list? As always we love hearing from you and want to thank you for listening over the past 3 years. Here’s to a great start to 2023 and we’ll see you in the new year.

We know that cryptocurrency and social media are areas of business and technology that have already transformed the world and both are plagued with very issues and crisis. From the scandals and collapse around FTX and policy shifts around Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter we need to ask – are these existential moments for both crypto and Twitter?
We’ll look at these recent stories through questions of centralization vs decentralization, government intervention and private companies. As industries change and the spoils of technology accrue to a few individuals or organizations, what happens to those who are left behind after the scandals or systemic change?
We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a wonderful New Year. We’ll taking some time off for the holidays but will return soon.

The week began with a monumental victory for the Democrats with Sen. Raphael Warnock’s win in Georgia. This race was through to give the Dems some them breathing room. But last night Sen. Sinema of Arizona announced she’s leaving the Democratic Party and has as an Independent. She will not not caucus w/ the Democrats.
So today, let’s talk about Sinema, the leverage that she has created and what it means for both Arizona and the entire Senate. Is this kind of action the future? Will we see more candidates follow suit, drifting away from the parties as they become more and more entrenched – and as a way to create their own leverage within Congress?
Also this week – was this a good week for Joe Biden? For Democrats it could be seen as week full of policy wins, capped off with the return of Brittney Griner from Russia.
Finally, Congress approved even more funding to support Ukraine. Where does it all lead?

Today on the podcast we’ll start with another key Senate race in Arizona that’s rated as a toss-up. Arizona is a large state, a growing state and perhaps most importantly a swing state. On the Democratic side, Mark Kelly is currently running for his first full-term while the Republicans have multiple candidates seeking the nomination who are running and competing to align themselves as allies close to Trump. Can Kelly get young people and Latinos out to vote (which he carried handily in the last election)?
Next we’ll talk about the unfolding situation in Ukraine and its implications for International relations and geopolitics. What should the U.S.’s role be (if any)?
Finally, we’re pleased to welcome Craig Shirley- a friend, author, historian and consultant. Craig has written several books and today we’ll be talk about his new book which was just released entitled “April 1945: The Hinge of History.”

Today on the podcast we’ll continue our look at the top Senate races in the country. The stakes as always are very high. Last week, we talked about the tight Senate Republican Primary – Dr. Oz is now the front-runner and leading by double digits.
But our main story today is Georgia. There are no primaries, and that means that its Raphael Warnock against NFL star Herschel Walker. Can he peel off enough votes from his name recognition to win- and to what degree can Warnock hold together the coalition that helped him win in 2021? It’s a coalition reminiscent of Obama’s performance. But Independents are the key to this race. Let’s look at the way both candidates are positioning themselves.
Thanks for tuning in – be sure to drop us your comments and let us know what you think about the state of the races in Georgia. Where do you think Independents are learning? See you next week.

Today on the podcast we’ll start by talking about the issue of food insecurity in this country. Back when we first polled on this issue in the 80s the numbers were already alarming. But over time we polled these same types of questions sin the 90s as well as very recently- and we’ve discovered that food insecurity has gotten worse – with 20% of our respondents reporting they have experienced some type of food insecurity. So in this era of super-high inflation, what does food insecurity look like and how many of our neighbors are food insecure?
Next let’s talk about one of the hottest and most important Senate races in the country which is in Pennsylvania. What makes this race a bit more unique is that we have activity in both parties. We’ll talk about the current state of the race and some of the stark differences between candidates in both parties.
Have a great week everyone – as always, we welcome your comments and your emails.

Today on the podcast, let’s start with the situation in Ukraine. We’ll step back and try to look at it from a position not of who is good/evil but how all the actors are acting within their own self-interest.
So who benefits from a conflict between the west and Russia, and what is this really all about? Geo-political influence? Resources? Or something else entirely?
Finally – in the latest jobs report that has just been released, the country saw 467,000 new jobs created – triple what economists were projecting. Wages are up 1% – this looks like good news all around, but will that or can that effect Biden’s negative job approval? Or is the country continuing to live in separate universes and entrenched narratives where none of it matters? We continue to see people drifting apart. Is there anything the administration can do to bring people together or is it an impossible task?
Thanks as always for listening – we’ll see you next week.

This week – a focus on some encouraging numbers and why so many Americans still feel discouraged. First, GDP grew at 6.7% and unemployment is officially still just under 4%. Wages have climbed for many. So why aren’t we happy? Biden has a 40% approval reading and 70% of the public believes the country is headed in the wrong direction.
How do you explain the disconnect between the economic indicators and public opinion?
We’ll talk about some of the reasons why. Is it Biden’s fault? Is it the undermining of public confidence? Is it the media? Or larger macro factors that have many in the nation in a place of discontent.
Thanks for tuning in, and for your continued comments and messages. We’ll see you next week!

President Biden’s approval rating is now in the low 40s or high 30s depending on the poll. This begs the question Washington loves to ask – “How bleak are the Democrats’ prospects for the November elections?”
If we take a look at Biden, with the exception of Trump, his polls are the lowest numbers since polls have been taken. Can he bounce back?
Inflation, among other challenges is dragging him down but this is the biggest challenge Biden faces at the moment and many Americans now view inflation, not COVID19 as their most pressing concern.
Further, the two major pieces of legislation that the Democrats have been pushing hard (Build Back Better and legislation around voting rights) do not at the moment have a path to becoming law.
However, the Republicans still have to contend with the very real shadow of Trump and calculate if being against Biden without much in the way of policy is enough to win their races.
Right now the Democrats are still in charge and they have the burden of proof as to what they have done for the average voter lately.
We’ll also debate the laws in many states that are being passed which seem to make voting just a bit harder. Is this voter suppression?
Finally we’re launching our new website and will be releasing new data on emerging trends in our relationship with technology in relation to AI. Where does the public stand? You’ll find out next week!
Thanks again for listening, watching and sharing. Have a great week!

Good morning and first let’s acknowledge that today’s podcast is our 100th episode! Thanks to you all who have been with us through this journey from the beginning and to all of you who might be listening for the first time.
Today on the podcast we’re having a conversation with Bill Flaig President/CEO of American Conservative Values ETF (ACVF) (ACVETFS.com) who leads investments not tied to social good but of an ETF that’s focused on investing not necessarily on stakeholder value but more squarely on shareholder value.
Launched in October 2020, the fund is constructed to do as much advocacy around conservative while still maximizing shareholder value.
We’ll talk about balancing advocacy and economic incentives, starting a new kind of fund, and how they determine which kinds of companies are deemed to align with their values.

There’s lots going on this week, not the least of which is the turmoil in Kazakstan – but we’re watching national events closely as well. We’ve just crossed the anniversary of the January 6th insurrection marked by a speech by President Biden.
Did Biden do anything to regain control of this national community? We’ll look at the historical parallels between how Clinton restored the potency of the presidency in 1995 in the face of a dominant republican legislature. Were there any signals of any differences between how he conducted his presidency in 2021 and the tone of how he aims to conduct his presidency in 2022?
There is also the backdrop of the voting rights legislation and this speech may have been an effort to shore up his base as this battle heats up.
If we look at 2022 we’ll also talk about the changing role of Executive Orders over time and the public’s support or resistance to them as well as of our existing Constitutional Amendments.
Finally – in our recent poll we asked the public “Should the Constitution be interpreted strictly to ensure checks and balances are maintained or loosely to expand the federal government’s role in solving problems.” 60% vs 21% sided with the strict interpretation of the law. What are the implications of this sentiment on the national conversation?
As always, thanks for your comments and for listening and we’ll see you next week for our 100th episode!

Today we’ll be talking about the prospects for Democrats and Republicans as we roll into the next election year.
Our poll numbers show President Biden at a 46% job approval number which is a bit higher than some of the national polls show. Despite the fact that this number is good, there are some lurking shadows that spell trouble for Biden and the Democrats.
Specifically he’s not where he needs to be with his approval among Democrats (82%), or Independents (37%).
We’ll also talk about our new poll with some very interesting points regarding the public’s trust and distrust of the government – specifically when it comes to vaccines and mandates. In our recent poll we asked ‘is it right or wrong to disobey a mandate?’ What we’re asking is if they equate these mandates with law. 39% said it’s right to disobey, and 36% say it’s wrong with the rest of our respondents unsure.
When we asked respondents who they trust more or who has more legal authority – local authorities or federal authorities? 46% sided with local sheriff and 31% sided with the FBI.
We’ll be releasing more data from our poll over the coming weeks, so stay tuned. It’s hard to believe that we’re almost to 100 episodes of the podcast and we thank you for being here with us. Have a great week!

President Biden’s numbers have been slowly improving this week. They’re still not good, but his numbers are no longer in free-fall. Or could it simply be the goodwill of the holidays that’s contributing to the bump?
The President has been trying to remain very visible this week and trying to show that he’s actively working to help with the disaster recovery in Kentucky, acknowledging the challenges in dealing with inflation and the Omicron variant.
In these conditions, a 3-point increase in job approval can be seen as a real positive.
Also – can the Fed get inflation under control or is it here to stay?
Speaking of numbers – we’re going to have new numbers from a brand new poll. We’ll be releasing data over the next few weeks. We’ll get into Biden’s job Approval, inflation and some topics that are future-oriented including AI, the 4th Industrial Revolution and more.
As always, thanks for listening and we’ll see you next week!

Today on the podcast we’re talking about survival. Currently Build Back Better is in the same spot it’s been in for months. While it will not receive any Republican support, Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema continue to be obstacles to passage.
One school of thought is that Manchin will vote ‘yes’ based on the long-term trajectory of West Virginia and if he signals support, then Sinema will follow. But that remains to be seen.
We’ll spend time today talking about West Virginia and it’s future as well as other major transitions on the horizon.
Finally – are humans on the verge of extinction? This conversation is brought about by a recent article citing declining birth rates and food supply degradation as early warning signs of pending disaster. So what do we think will happen next?
Thanks as always for your thoughtful comments and insights. We’ll see you next week.
