Consumer Confidence, Trust in Government, President and Governor

All about consumer confidence, how much we trust government and how we rate Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and U.S. President Donald Trump are featured in this State of the State Podcast. The monthly Institute for Public Policy and Social Research podcast tracks down research from its State of the State Survey and other advancements. The Institute, known as IPPSR, is at home at Michigan State University in the College of Social Science and focuses on policy education, leadership training and survey research -- a synergistic combination. IPPSR Director Matt Grossmann, MSU Economist Charles Ballard, director of IPPSR's State of the State Survey, and IPPSR Associate Director Arnold Weinfeld tackle key topics as the 2020 election season begins.
