About this episode

This episode discusses the divisions within the GOP regarding the Iran conflict and highlights the significant role of grandparents in family and economic support.

On this week's Poll Hub: Americans are torn over the conflict with Iran, wanting both a quick end and major geopolitical outcomes. While many support stopping Iran’s nuclear program, economic concerns and rising gas prices weigh heavily. Partisan divides are clear: most Republicans support military action, while Democrats and independents largely oppose it. But, there are real cracks showing in Trump's Republican Party for the first time since he won in 2016. Then, grandparents play a bigger role than many realize, both in their families and the economy. From providing financial support and care giving to sharing meals and creating lasting memories, they are essential contributors to daily life. We break down how often grandparents provide care, how much they spend on grandchildren, and the meaningful ways they support the next generation. We also take a look at what people's favorite day was in 1952, and it might look a bit different than today. maristpoll.com/podcast
