(Note: When the Talking Heads talk about polling numbers, they are often referring to the opinion surveys conducted by Gallup. Curious about how upper income consumers or young voters are feeling about the election? You can find it here, along with more information about “the pulse of the nation” than you ever wanted! Like ice cream, too many polls consumed too quickly brings on brain freeze.)

“For more than 70 years, Gallup has built its reputation on delivering relevant, timely, and visionary research on what humans around the world think and feel. Using impeccable data, our advisers assist leaders in identifying and monitoring critical economic and behavioral indicators that are vital to their strategic plans. No other organization captures the human need to share opinions and the breadth of the human spirit like The Gallup Poll. Since 1935, The Gallup Poll has chronicled reactions to the events that have changed our world — and in turn, those reactions have shaped who and what we are today. Today, The Gallup Poll continues to be a reliable source of intelligence for a changing world. Our data often answer the questions that are “top of mind” with leaders around the globe. Through its offices worldwide, Gallup measures public opinion and attitudes on virtually every political, social, and economic issue. Its data reach the highest levels of government, the judiciary, business, and academia.” (From “Gallup Poll” on the Gallup web site.)
