The co-hosts of the Pollsters podcast Kristen Soltis Anderson and Margie Omero were at ASU last week for a post-election analysis presented by the university’s School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership. Anderson is the co-founder of Echelon Insights, and Omero is a principal at GBA Strategies and a Democratic pollster.
The Show spoke with them and started by asking Omero whether the big issue for voters across the country was President Trump, healthcare, immigration or something else.
