#60: Is the system rigged?

Go to the AAPOR conference, folks, and listen to our interview with David Dutwin, an AAPOR methodologist.   Poll of the week: You tax show offs. Almost everyone says they’ve done their taxes already Well, not Margie. Retailmenot survey on taxpaying   Democratic contest “heating up” (well, kinda) Is the Democratic contest: rigged, heated, none of these. Margie’s CNBC piece HP average   GOP side Now this is what we call testy! Trump is still in the lead. So what’s he complaining about? NBC/Marist NY poll HP average   All the married ladies… A new Bloomberg Politics/Purple Slice poll of married women shows Trump in some major trouble. This is a group that went for Romney in 2012. Bloomberg Politics/Purple Slice poll   Meet the contest-ants, again. So, what happens at the convention? And how will voters react? Even some Kasich/Cruz voters think Trump should get the nod. And even some Trump voters would be open to a non-candidate getting selected. Marist-McLatchy poll on convention NBC/Survey monkey Quinnipiac national poll on desired traits for candidates   Religious folks: happier, but not necessarily healthier. Pew compared very religious to less religious folks. Some similarities, some differences. But everyone likes research (hooray!). Pew study on religion   What is the tracking on zombies? Millicent the magnificent! YouGov on zombies PPP on zombies   Key findings: Who are you calling rigged? The Dem contest looks absolutely civilized next to the Republican throwdown. When married women think of Donald trump, it gives them a headache. In case of zombie attack, i’d prefer Millicent or any of her brothers to some of the candidates in the current field. Politics aside, religion seems like a source of happiness for many. With all this free time you have from doing your taxes, should free up some time to write a review of The Pollsters.
