By Voxtopica

This week we’re back in the soundbooth, with special guest Baby Beckett! Also, don’t forget to buy Kristen’s book, The Selfie Vote.   What to Trump & Sanders have in common? Most polling continues to show Trump in the lead, or close to it. Even in the aftermath of his McCain comments. On the Democratic side, one poll show Sanders and Clinton doing equally well in the general. Yet neither Trump nor Sanders believe in polling, it seems. We discuss.   Monmouth: 2016 Iowa poll WaPo: Trump leads GOP field Gallup: Trump Core Issue Ratings Quinnipiac: Sanders head-to-head with Clinton Huffington Post: Sanders $0 for polling Trump Pollsters Tweet Latino Decisions: Threshold to win in 2016   Campaign finance Speaking of campaign spending, a new poll shows voters divided on the impact campaign finance rules are having on our presidential contest. But how closely are voters studying either?   Monmouth: Campaign finance   Conflicting, simultaneous views on Iran With the deal back in the news, there is new polling, showing voters simultaneously supportive but cautious.   YouGov: Americans on Iran Deal AP/GFK: Iran relations Fox News: Iran Deal   Tweeting all moms! Ah, parenthood, All the joys, all the Facebook posts…   Pew: Parents and social media   Key Findings: If it’s Trump vs. Sanders, everyone’s going to move to public polling. Speaking of a fun field, voters in both parties say campaign finance rules are not helping. Voters say they’re following the Iran deal, and are both supportive and cautious. Hey parents out there!
