Joel Benenson - Chief Pollster and Strategist to Obama and Clinton

Joel Benenson is a premier political strategist and pollster. He's the only Democratic pollster to have played a leading role in 3 winning presidential campaigns. He recently visited University of Montana to speak with our students about the Big Sky Poll project. Joel and I discuss the roll of polling, the problems associated with reporting on poll results, and how some things went wrong (for his candidate) in the 2016 election. Joel is founder and CEO of The Benenson Strategy Group where he and his team serve as strategist and consultants to heads of state, domestic political leaders at all levels, Fortune 100 CEOs, and leaders of major advocacy and nonprofit institutions. https://www.bsgco.com/who-we-are/team/joel-benenson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Benenson http://www.umt.edu/bigskypoll/
