Topics
Galen Druk：就英国君主制而言，民调的意义令人质疑，因为君主制并非民选制度，其权力并非源于民意。然而，民调结果依然反映了公众对君主制的看法，这对于了解君主制未来的走向至关重要。 Nathaniel Rakich：对公众人物（包括非政治人物）进行民调是有意义的，可以提供数据用于决策或评论。此外，英国君主制可能不会永远存在，民调可以了解废除君主制的民意支持度，这对于预测君主制的未来至关重要。 Amelia Thompson-DeVoe：英国君主制历史上一直受到公众舆论的影响，即使在权力有限、受议会制约的情况下，公众舆论对其依然具有重大影响。 Jeffrey Skelly：君主制的民调结果也取决于君主本身的形象。对非民主政体进行民调是有意义的，可以了解公众对该政体的看法，从而为未来的变革提供参考。

Shownotes Transcript

King Charles III was crowned over the weekend, which led to a lot of polls comparing his popularity to that of other members of the royal family. Long story short, the numbers aren’t great, but in some ways that's beside the point. In this installment of the podcast, the crew asks if polling non-democratic institutions is a good use of polling.

They also look at a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll) showing both former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis leading Biden in a very early 2024 matchup. And they talk about the 2024 Senate races that are taking shape. Republican challengers to vulnerable Democratic incumbents are announcing their bids, and a number of them are repeat candidates from the 2022 midterms.
