WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- The U.S. polling firm Gallup has launched a free daily news-related webcast featuring pollster-in-chief Frank Newport as a stand-up anchor.
The segment is available Monday through Friday beginning at 6 a.m. Eastern time, and features Newport discussing the firm's latest polling data and what it reveals about current events, the Washington Post reported.
In its inaugural run last week, the 8-minute videos at gallup.com covered such topics as the "gender gap" in presidential politics, how teens view the Iraq war, public ratings for the vice presidential candidates and workaholism.
"Our mission is to be the one place you can go, after what reporters have told you what's happening, to find out what the people are actually thinking," said Jim Clifton, chief executive of the poll's parent company, the Gallup Organization.
