Once Again: The Climate Crisis

We begin by looking at the results of our new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll. A majority of Americans agree that climate change is affecting their communities--whether from wildfire smoke, blazing temperatures, or disastrous floods. However, since 2018, the number of Americans who think climate change is a major problem or should take precedence over economic growth has decreased. We discuss why that might be.

Next, how soon is too soon? A question the Poll Hub team asks as new numbers reveal that Trump is taking a clear lead amongst his GOP competitors. We discuss trends we have seen in the past, and if this election cycle is likely to follow.

We end with a poll asking which animal would be the most preferable replacement for the bald eagle-- and let's just say that no one's first pick was a catfish.
