#Rehash: Twitter's Role in Thanksgiving Amidst Turkey Tycoons
In the dynamic world of American politics, the past week has seen a series of intriguing developments.
Firstly, the 2016 elections have taken an interesting turn with Carson's tumultuous week seemingly paving the way for Cruz to gain ground. This shift in the political landscape is a clear indication of the unpredictable nature of the current election cycle.
Meanwhile, a poll conducted by Pew Research Centre has shed light on a surprising finding: even among Republicans, there is a significant role perceived for government in education and environmental issues. This suggests a growing understanding and acceptance of the need for government intervention in these crucial areas.
Moving on to the younger generation, millennials have been making headlines for their unique attitudes towards censorship. Contrary to popular belief, millennials appear to support censorship more than other demographic groups. Moreover, they are highly accessible on social media platforms like Snapchat, making them a significant target for political campaigns.
The topic of public opinion polling has also been a subject of debate recently. The Sun's polling on Muslims, particularly its methodology, has sparked controversy and raised questions about the validity and reliability of such polls.
In more positive news, issues such as ISIS, the refugee crisis, and racial tensions continue to concern Americans deeply, according to data from The Washington Post/ABC, Bloomberg/Selzer, and CNN/KFF. These findings underscore the urgent need for effective policy-making and public discourse on these pressing matters.
In a recent podcast episode titled "Twitter, Turkeys & Thanksgiving," researcher Keli Goff discussed the use of Twitter polls, sentiment, and personal Twitter habits. This conversation was further expanded upon in a fascinating conversation between Twitter and Adam Sharp, head of Campaigns, Elections, News & Government at Twitter. These discussions underscore Twitter's continued relevance as a powerful tool for gauging public opinion and understanding the pulse of the nation.
Lastly, the Democratic side of the 2016 elections has also been under scrutiny. Key insights have been provided by the CBS/YouGov and Huffington Post/Pollster data, offering a valuable perspective on the ongoing race.
The Washington Post and Politico have been exploring these trends among millennials, providing in-depth analysis and insights into the attitudes and behaviours of this influential demographic. As the 2016 elections approach, these trends and insights will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the political landscape.
