Episode Details

CannCon flies solo again on the now permanent Tuesday format and opens with a genuinely wild polling scandal, where a brand new firm openly admits to running what it calls a social experiment after getting caught pushing wildly inflated numbers for a socialist candidate that ended up losing by half a point. He connects that to Rasmussen quietly getting booted from a major polling aggregator despite years of accuracy. From there he digs into a fresh CBS poll on how Democrats increasingly favor socialism over capitalism, breaking down the branding gap between what Republicans and Democrats think the word even means, and framing the whole thing as a widening civil war between the DSA and the old guard establishment. He closes with a fascinating C SPAN caller clip that has to be seen to be believed. Plenty of economic theory and political speculation packed into a solo Tuesday.
