What do Americans think about the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act?" And is the acronym pronounced OH-bah or ABBA? I asked these and other important questions on the latest episode of the GD POLITICS podcast with @CarlBialik and Taylor Orth!

So delighted to win the Tom Perrotta Prize - especially for work highlighting the experiences of mothers on tour, both on and off the court. Big thanks to Tom’s family, ITWA and everyone involved in creating this prize to help support the work of tennis writers.

@NikMilanovic Where’s this from?

I was surprised to see The Wire down at #6 on the list of best shows of all time. Guess it's time to watch Breaking Bad.

@lced_Teas @YouGovAmerica @taylor_orth @dhmontgomery We miss you already! And it's far from your last byline

Friday was my last day as the 2024 U.S. Elections Intern at @YouGovAmerica. It’s been incredible to do political polling with them over… let’s just say an eventful past few months. So grateful to @CarlBialik, @taylor_orth, and @dhmontgomery for being amazing colleagues!

Excited to share my first article at @YouGovAmerica looking at partisan views on student debt relief I discuss party differences in who is blamed for student debt and whether having (vs. not having) student loans may affect the parties differently. today.yougov.com/politics/artic…

@NayibLiberalism @TheEconomist @YouGov @dhmontgomery @HooverInst @stevelaffey @MonmouthPoll @MorningConsult @nytimes @PeteButtigieg Thanks for all this. Lots to dig into. Not totally following the last few tweets in the thread — are those about YouGov data?

@CarlBialik @TheEconomist @YouGov @dhmontgomery @HooverInst @stevelaffey @MonmouthPoll @MorningConsult @nytimes @PeteButtigieg Actually, they (we) just didn’t know who he was. Even in December 2019. Also: should we really expect the Prime Minister of Scotland to be 50 times as well known as the President of India, in any age group?

I’m honestly surprised @TheEconomist hasn’t dropped its partnership with @YouGov yet, given the reliable awfulness of its crosstabs, particularly for age groups. Notice a pattern here?

@NayibLiberalism @TheEconomist @YouGov @dhmontgomery We do. Always open to ways to improve. What are the correct percentages and how do you know?

@TheEconomist @YouGov @CarlBialik @dhmontgomery Do you guys use data quality checks? I just don’t buy that 3 in 4 Americans under 30 are really unsure that the moon landing happened, or that they’re almost twice as likely to believe *Democrats* participate in child sex rings. twitter.com/YouGovAmerica/…

This is a fun one. I had @YouGovAmerica ask 29,000 people how they organize their books. - 29% don't organize their books - 22% sort by genre - 19% alphabetize - 3% sort by color But it turns out this depends HEAVILY on how many books you own. My story: today.yougov.com/society/articl…

The first ever poll I wrote, ran and analyzed for @YouGovAmerica asked Americans how much various political labels applied to them. Lots more analysis, including a breakdown by party, in my article here: today.yougov.com/politics/artic…
