Fake Polls, Real Wave?
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Pod Save Americaβs own podcast host.
Polling’s gold standard, the New York Times/Siena poll, releases new data showing Democrats surging far ahead of Republicans with an 11-point lead on the generic ballot, while another popular pollster is exposed for falsifying its data. Jon and Dan react to the polls, both good and fake, and then turn to Donald Trump’s campaign stop in South Carolina, where the president expanded on his love of men. They discuss Vivek Ramaswamy’s disgusting ad in the Ohio gubernatorial race, JD Vance getting a cold welcome from his hometown NFL franchise, this week’s Senate debates in Michigan and Kansas, and another administration scandal featuring Trump’s former attorney Alina Habba. Then Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia, stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about her return to politics and her race against a MAGA billionaire.
