Americans are at the polls right now voting for the next president – among a lot of other important state and local races.
And if you’re highly engaged in the outcome of Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris – you’re not just casting a ballot. You’re reading, watching and listening to tons of content about this presidential race, and in some cases agonizing over public polling in the weeks leading up to election day.
This year, the polls are showing one thing: neither candidate holds a clear edge.
So how can you avoid getting burned by faulty expectations?
And how should we prepare for the rush of election night and the cascade of state-by-state returns we’re about to experience?
