Episode description

One week after what could potentially be the only Presidential Debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump the polling is extremely tight. But is polling always a solid indicator of who will come out victorious on Election Day? Founder and President of Monadnock Strategies, Jesse Hunt explains why voters need to account for the margin of error in these polls.   Jesse looks at gubernatorial races across the country and describes why they might be the most consequential races we'll have this cycle. He describes why North Carolina and New Hampshire as the ones to watch, and why reliance on ticket splitting for each race differs.    Understanding the Polls: Jesse emphasizes that only around 10,000 -20,000 voters will matter in battleground states, meaning this will be a very close election.
