Episode description

We're diving into the final chapter of one of the most recognizable names in polling: FiveThirtyEight. @GElliottMorris joins us to break down what led to the site's closure and what it all means for people who rely on quality data.

In the meantime, he's launched a Substack, Strength in Numbers, and has been writing about some notable trends, including how voters who are not very engaged with politics have dramatically shifted their attitudes about Donald Trump in just 6 months.

We wrap with a fun fact about political prestige, and whether it's still something people respect. Of course, we kept G. Elliott on for this one.
