EP 45: The Pulse of America: Can We Still Trust Polls? with Gallup’s Editor-in-Chief

One of the most popular questions we get at Mo News is about polling, how it works and why it can be trusted. In today’s edition we speak with the editor-in-chief of Gallup, one of the organizations that does it best. Gallup is nearly 90 years old and conducts polls in 140 countries—representing nearly all of humanity.  Editor-in-Chief, Mohamed Younis, joins Mosh to talk about how the organization polls everyone from women living in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to dislocated Ukrainians to Americans who no longer pick up their phones. We discuss compelling trends when it comes to the economy, world happiness trends, how Gallup tweaks questions based on cultural norms and which US political polls you should no longer trust.   —- Mosheh Oinounou (@mosheh) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
