National Political Polling

Description

ABC/Washington Post runs national polls that track presidential election standings. Bruno cites their data twice aboard Air Force One: first for favorable numbers boosting Bartlet, then for a specific survey showing Bartlet at 50 percent to Ritchie's 44 percent. Campaign staff rely on these results to assess momentum amid market drops and First Lady soundbites, highlighting the organization's role in shaping real-time political strategy.
