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…
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…
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…
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…
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%.

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.

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…
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…

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.
