Republican Pollster Tackles Voter Concerns with Kristen Soltis Anderson

“So many people in politics, they’ve all got opinions. My job is not to be about my opinions. My job is to go out and listen to other people’s opinions.” 

What shot does Donald Trump have at re-election? What do Republicans really think about Ron DeSantis? How are people feeling about the Biden Presidency? What issues are really keeping Americans up at night? With her keen and unique insight, Kristen Soltis Anderson can help us answer these questions. As a top Republican pollster, Kristen’s job is to go out into the world and collect data on what everyday Americans are thinking about. In this episode, Kristen shares some of that knowledge with Van. They explore the ideological difference between the Republican and Democratic parties, as well as the divisions within each party. Kristen and Van lay out how developing a better understanding of where the “other side” is coming from can benefit all of us. You will also be surprised to hear that Trump supporters and young progressives actually share a common characteristic.

New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.
