#23: Trump-mania

Kristen is on the road and Margie’s still in the closet but we head right into the eye of the Trummania storm.   Four questions about Trump polling:   is this bump real? (Do the polls reflect real trends?) What’s driving it? Will it last? Is this just a “fling”? What will this do to the GOP brand?   Politico: What Trump Bump? NBC/Marist Polls: Iowa NBC/Marist Poll: New Hampshire Bloomberg/Purple: Trump focus group Monmouth Poll: Immigration Nate Silver: Trump Nickelback CNN/ORC poll Gallup: GOP Familiarity/Favorability Huffington Post: Grassroots Activist Republicans Pew: GOP favorability   Cuba moves As the candidates make moves on Cuba, Pew has new data on opinions on the changing relationship between the two countries.   Pew Polling Report: Cuba CBS Poll: Cuba   Pot, Alcohol, Coffee, Salt, Fat & Gluten. Not in that order. What’s in, and what’s out...of our bodies.   Gallup: Marijuana usage Gallup: Drinking Gallup: Drinking highest among educated, upper-income Gallup: Coffee Consumption Gallup: Fat and Salt Gallup: Gluten-free habits NYT: Americans eating less Gallup: Americans exercising more   Book Banning Plans on curling up with a good book this summer? Better act fast because some folks support ratings systems and even bans. Harris Poll: Censorship   Summertime Overtime Or maybe just email the office on your vacation. That’s what we do!
