The ninth annual Muhlenberg College Public Health Program survey results were released last week and reveal how Pennsylvanians feel about a wide variety of public health issues.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and issues relating to it, dominates the poll and the results offer a view of public opinion on how the health emergency is being handled.
This survey also asks respondents how they feel President Biden and Governor Wolf are handling the pandemic response.
Christopher Borick, Ph.D., is a Professor of Political Science and the Director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion and he appears on Smart Talk Tuesday to analyze the survey results.

Taxpayers on the hook for election lawsuit bills
At least a dozen lawsuits were filed in Pennsylvania following President Joe Biden’s victory in the the 2020 General Election.
All but one of the suits brought by former President Donald Trump and his allies, before and after the election, failed. Yet they accounted for more than $1.9 million of the overall cost incurred by the DOS.
Julia Agos is a reporter and host of All Things Considered for WITF. She filed a report outlining the cost to taxpayers and joins Smart Talk Tuesday to share those details.
The Associated Press and WITF’s democracy reporter Jordan Wilkie are partnering to tell stories about how Pennsylvania elections work, and to debunk misinformation surrounding elections.
