Launching New Interactive Polling Franchise: 'Monthly Capital Intel' on 2WAY
'Monthly Capital Intel' Premiere on 2WAY
On April 28, 2026, a groundbreaking new program titled 'Monthly Capital Intel' will launch on the interactive live video platform 2WAY. This innovative show aims to transform the way audiences engage with political polling and public opinion. Hosted by notable figures Mark Penn, the Chairman and CEO of Stagwell, and Mark Halperin, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of 2WAY, this premiere marks the beginning of a new franchise designed to provide real-time insights into political landscapes.
The show, which runs for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, will kick off by analyzing the latest April 2026 Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll, released earlier that day. This unique format combines immediate data, expert opinions, and direct audience participation, offering viewers a multifaceted perspective on current political issues.
In an era where political polling can often feel distant or unmanageable, 'Monthly Capital Intel' strives to make valuable insights more accessible to the general public. The first episode will cover critical topics such as voter economic confidence, the ongoing conflict with Iran, and the implications of redistricting and gerrymandering as the 2026 midterm elections approach. It will also delve into President Trump's job approval ratings and prime initiatives being undertaken by his administration.
"Polling is integral to our understanding of today’s political dynamics, yet it often suffers from a lack of engagement and clarity," Penn stated. He further elaborated that the new format aims to demystify polling by presenting it in an interactive and participatory way. The vision is to create a platform where the audience can play an active role in interpreting and reacting to polling data.
CEO of HarrisX, Dritan Nesho, acknowledged the need for a cohesive approach to understanding public opinion. He remarked that traditional polling treats data as static snapshots, while their collaboration with 2WAY aims to create a continuous dialogue enriched with live audience feedback. This dual perspective, he explained, allows for a deeper dive into the evolving sentiments of voters without bias.
In addition to the premier episode, viewers can anticipate the launch of 'Daily Capital Intel,' which offers a series of shorter segments driven by overnight polling data. Scheduled to debut in the following week, these segments will be incorporated into various 2WAY programming, including 'The Morning Meeting' and '2WAY Tonight.' This suite of offerings promises rapid insights into the news cycle, further elevating the platform's commitment to delivering timely information.
Halperin emphasized the innovative nature of the show, stating, "We've crafted a novel approach that seamlessly integrates data collection with expert analysis and public engagement. By turning polling into live, interactive events, we shorten the gap between polling results and audience reactions, creating an all-encompassing viewing experience."
Viewers interested in participating in this cutting-edge program will have the opportunity to join via Zoom (registration needed) or watch the live stream on YouTube and X. The interactive format promises not only to inform but to also engage varying viewpoints from a diverse audience.
