    The Focus Group Podcast

    Unfiltered, uncompromising, unexpected—The Focus Group is a look into what the average voter thinks about politics, policy, and current events. Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, has conducted hundreds of hours of focus groups all across the country. She and a series of special guests will take you behind the glass to hear what real focus group participants have to say.

    S4 Ep13: Nikki's Narrow Path (with Whit Ayres) Dec 16, 2023
    Show notes Donald Trump has a huge lead in the Republican primaries...but Nikki Haley has managed to distinguish herself from the other afterthoughts in the field.

    S4 Ep10: Our Better Angels (with Judy Woodruff) Nov 23, 2023
    Show notes Americans are more divided than they've been in a long time, and Sarah and our guest have heard a lot about that when they've done focus groups together this year. PBS NewsHour's Judy Woodruff joins Sarah for a special Thanksgiving episode to discuss how Americans are thinking of their political differences, and how we might move beyond them going into another contentious election year.

    S4 Ep9: American Jews Are Nervous (with Bill Kristol) Nov 18, 2023

    S4 Ep8: The Pro-Choice Trump Voter (with Elaine Godfrey) Nov 11, 2023
    Show notes Ohio passed a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights this week. And the women we talked to in Ohio who voted for Sherrod Brown in 2018 and Donald Trump in 2020 showed us why. Elaine Godfrey of The Atlantic joins Sarah to talk about where the abortion issue is headed in 2024...and why Sarah thinks voters "have Donald Trump's number" on abortion.

    S4 Ep7: America Needs Mushrooms (with Rep. Tim Ryan) Nov 04, 2023
    Show notes The Kentucky gubernatorial election is coming down to the wire, and a young, charismatic Democratic incumbent might have lessons for other Democrats in tough races. As luck would have it, we have our own charismatic red state Democrat to break it all down with Sarah and offer suggestions for fixing American politics: former Ohio Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Tim Ryan.
    S4 Ep6: 'Orange Man Bad' is Not Enough (with Ruy Teixeira) Oct 28, 2023
    Show notes It seemed impossible that Donald Trump could ever make inroads with Hispanic voters, but in 2020, he did. And he could again in 2024. Ruy Teixeira— co-founder of The Liberal Patriot and co-author of the new book Where Have All the Democrats Gone— joins Sarah for a frank exchange of ideas about how Democrats can win back a community that might decide the 2024 election.

    S4 Ep5: They'd Rather Eat a Bowl of Glass (with Amy Walter) Oct 21, 2023
    Show notes No one wants a Trump-Biden rematch, but it looks like we're all stuck with it. Amy Walter of The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter joins Sarah to talk about the onetime Biden voters who might vote for Trump again.
    S4 Ep4: Send This Podcast to Joe Lieberman (with Matt Bennett) Oct 14, 2023
    Show notes A third-party group called No Labels might put Donald Trump back in the White House (whoops), and we have a label for that: dangerous. Matt Bennett of Third Way has been one of the leading voices against the No Labels effort. He joins Sarah to give listeners a rundown on No Labels' plans and to hear which voters are picking up what they're putting down.
