Walmart Mothers, Political Survey Results from Kentucky, and Unsettling Holiday Behavior

In the latest episode, the focus is on the shifting tides of polling and public opinion. The discussion covers a range of topics, including the Shark Tank Debate, the Post-Hearing Clinton Surge, Carson's General Election Strength, and the enigma of Walmart Moms.

The episode delves into the feelings of Walmart Moms, a group that unites across party lines, expressing a sense of being overlooked by candidates. An interview with Neil Newhouse, who is currently studying this group, provides valuable insights.

The Shark Tank Debate seems to have given a boost to Rubio, Cruz, and possibly Christie, as they surged in its aftermath. On the other hand, Clinton, Carson, and Rubio are surging, while Bush struggles post-CNBC debate.

Clinton's performance in the Democratic debate and the Benghazi hearings has bolstered her standing, even in traditionally competitive states like New Hampshire.

The Kentucky Polling Miss has sparked reflection on methodology and public memory of polling errors. Experts like Harry Enten from 538 are weighing in on this issue. The surprising win of Republican Matt Bevin in Kentucky has raised questions about polling accuracy.

The episode also presents key findings, including the phenomenon of 'Christmas Creep' and the decline in religiosity. Pew data shows a declining trend in religiosity, while Gallup and CNBC highlight rising Christmas spending. It seems that Christmas spending is on the rise as religiosity declines, with the phenomenon of 'Christmas Creep' taking hold.

Lastly, the episode discusses the decline in trust in the media, with Gallup polling showing skepticism across demographics. This is a trend that continues to be a concern in the current political climate.

Stay tuned for more insights and analysis on the latest in polling and public opinion.
