The midterm elections are this coming Tuesday. We discuss what the polls are saying—and what the polls cannot predict. The traditional and right-wing narrative continues to champion polling that downplays Democratic candidates’ successes, while ignoring polling (including their own, in some cases) that flies in the face of that narrative. Either way, it does not change the fact that you need to get out and vote! And after you vote, make sure to encourage others to get out and vote—especially those younger folks in your life.

Daily Kos’ The Brief will be back on Thursday, Nov. 10, with a show dedicated to the Nov. 8. election results.
