They’ll discuss the latest scientific-based research related to public opinion at the local, state and national levels and what it all means for our community. www.wlvr.org Tom Shortell is the only news reporter in the Lehigh Valley with a dedicated political beat. Chris Borick is a nationally recognized public opinion researcher who has conducted over 300 large-scale public opinion surveys during the past two decades.

This week on "Watching the Skies" with Marty and Brad, the full moon is on display the evening of Monday, August 19. The full moon of each month has one or more traditional names, and the August full moon is known as ‘the Sturgeon Moon.’ This full moon also has the distinction of being a Supermoon. That’s a full moon that is seen at a point in its elliptical orbit that places it a bit closer to Earth. https://lnkd.in/eXiA957r
