U.S. Census: The Decision

July 03, 2019

The United States Supreme Court ruled against including a citizenship question on the 2020 U.S. Census questionnaire. On this week’s episode of Poll Hub, we discuss the significance of the ruling and how it impacts the polling community.


Then, we move onto baseball with baseball aficionado and friend of The Marist Poll John Sparks. In this informative and fun discussion, Sparks discusses the state of the game as the Poll Hub team shares new data from The Marist Poll.


Plus, Marist Poll Head Coach and Newsfeed Media Assistant Alexandria Watts joins the discussion. She offers her experiences collecting in-person interviews with Marist College students. Do these students enjoy baseball? Alexandria has her findings.


Producer’s Note: This episode was recorded prior to the Trump Administration’s announcement that the 2020 U.S. Census would be printed without the citizenship question and subsequent Twitter posts by President Trump.


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.
