I have been ruminating on this for a couple days.  Very likely that I take the book on vacation this weekend:

Trump: Tribune Of Poor White People

An interview with JD Vance, author of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and a Culture in Crisis

i only had time to make it a quarter of the way through the interview, but i'm strongly considering ordering the book.  fascinating.

Does Gallup not conduct election polls anymore?

Should they?

The last Gallup poll had Romney at 49% and Obama at 48%.

Seven+ points off the mark was the worst of them all.

Yeah I just read that they got out of the polling game after the Romney thing there was a great article in wired about the new polling techniques and Gallup couldn't keep Pace with how tech  was moving

Gallup still does "job approval" and "favorability" polling.

BLR puts out some of the best 'bust your gut' bits consistently
Cruz talks Trump

That guy wants to party and have someone do the pukin' for him

I still prefer Gallup to an outfit called "Survey Monkey".. I really can't take any poling outfit called "Survey Monkey" seriously….

I wonder if when we get closer to the election we'll see Gallup reintroduced their daily tracking poll….

Are you referencing the VP pick, the general divorce from reality all the Bernie people who are moving to Green Party have, or something else entirely?

crap, nevermind, looks like surveymonkey has entered the political polling field.

SM is an easy to use online polling service that has been around for years.  there is a free version so if ever you've done more than a few "please fill in our survey" thingies, chances are you've filled in a SM survey.  example survey. 

so does survey monkey, Mailchimp and Gorilla glass all live in the same jungle?
