Gauging attitudes on businesses that cut ties with the National Rifle Association, whether Oprah Winfrey should run for president and a look at Levi Strauss & Co.’s efforts to rebuild its brand were among the most popular stories Morning Consult published in 2018.

Rapid-response polling and analysis on President Donald Trump and his administration inspired and drove many popular pieces this year, as did interactive features on counting calories (Americans are pretty good at it) and how #MeToo allegations in Hollywood impact viewership (they don’t, really).
