BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Every Tuesday, Chris Borick, director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion, sits down with LehighValleyNews.com politics reporter Tom Shortell for Lehigh Valley Political Pulse on WLVR.
They discuss the latest trends emerging from science-based polls to discuss local, state and national campaigns and issues.
In this inaugural episode, Chris and Tom talk about the emerging poll numbers since President Joe Biden abandoned his re-election campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris rallied the Democratic Party behind her.
As the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago, the hosts go over whether her surge in the polls is ephemeral or a sign of an invigorated Democratic Party.
And if Harris and Democrats are going through a honeymoon period, can the same be said of former President Donald Trump? A month ago, he was riding riding high after a dominating debate performance and surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Political Pulse airs throughout the day Tuesdays on 91.3 WLVR. You can listen to an extended version of the conversation here, by clicking the listen button above.
