Episode 22 - Stan Greenberg: Presidential Pollster

Recommended Posts

Renowned Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg has advised the likes of Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Nelson Mandela. But he first made a name for himself studying white working class voters. His seminal 1985 report on so-called Reagan Democrats examined why auto workers were abandoning the Democratic Party in Macomb County, Michigan. Greenberg joins Katie and Brian to discuss how the 2016 election gave him déjà vu, why he's been spending time in Macomb again and what he's hearing from Trump supporters there. Plus, a caller in Chicago gets on the line to explain why she went from being a lifelong Democrat to voting for Donald Trump.

This was such an interesting podcast. I was particularly dismayed, though by the woman you interviewed who switched from voting democrat to voting for Trump. She chose to pick and choose what she gave credence to in the news, and filtered out the rest. When she said that she thought the press was unfair to Trump, and that the Russian investigation was just a distraction, I was flabbergasted. What will it take for these supporters to believe the shitshow that is the Trump administration?! Sad.
