Matter of Opinion

A Pollster Helps Us Manage Our Election Anxiety

Listen Later

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been neck and neck in the polls for weeks. But past elections have proved the polls wrong. Can we trust them this time? This week, the hosts are joined by Kristen Soltis Anderson, a Republican pollster and Times Opinion contributor, to talk through what polls can — and can’t — tell us about how voting day will go.

Plus, a taste for All Hallow’s Eve.

(A full transcript of this episode will be available within 24 hours of publication on the Times website.)
