Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the mode news podcast. I'm Mochua Nunu. We have a special

guest with us today. I'm really excited about this conversation. I think you will be

too. His name is Mohammed Eunice. He's the editor and chief of Gallup. You might be familiar

with Gallup. We cite them often on this podcast, on the newsletter, on the Instagram account.

Gallup really is the gold standard globally when it comes to polling. Now polls, of course,

especially recently, our controversial Mohammed and I talk about that in this conversation.

We talk about the media polling, the rap they get, some deserved, some undeserved. It's

one of the top questions I really get almost every week. Polls, why do you use them? How

can they be trusted, especially in an age where people aren't even picking up their

phones anymore? How could a couple thousand people really give us a gauge of what is

happening in our country and around the world? Well, Mohammed is here to explain that.

I think he puts it in really basic terms, really understandable terms that you'll enjoy,

that when chosen well, a good poll can really help you take the pulse of the nation and

the world. You'll learn a lot in this conversation about how Gallup conducts polling in more

than 140 countries around the world, even places like Russia, Afghanistan, where you would

think it might be hard to get a gauge for how people actually feel. Well, my guest today

is going to explain how they do just that, how they get honest answers and all things from

politics to the economy to mental health. And when these polls come out, they help policymakers,

they help businesses make big decisions, they help nonprofits understand the masses. Mohammed

Unis is a super smart guy. I think you will all get a lot out of this conversation.
