Hey there listeners, Gaelin here. I just wanted to let you know that we are off for the Juneteenth

holiday and I'll also be off for the first half of this week. So we recorded this podcast last Friday.

So if you hear any data or information that says today, we're talking about Friday June 16th.

a good or bad use of polling? And we're going to play a new game called Which Candidate Said This?

Hang around and you will learn more details as we go. But here with me to do all of this is

Kristen Soltis-Anderson. She's the founder of polling firm Eschalan Insights and is the author of

the book The Selfie Vote, where millennials are leading America and how Republicans can keep up.

Welcome back to the podcast, Kristen. Thank you so much for having me, Galen.
