Welcome back to another illuminating episode of The Hot Dish, where we dig into the core of rural progress and the pivotal issues shaping our small-town communities. Today, we’re delighted to share highlights of the conversations from the Rural Progress Summit with a conversation about political polling with Tim Miller of the Bulwark and Tom Bonier of TargetSmart, bringing their wealth of knowledge to our electoral dynamics. 

Join us as Tim and Tom dissect the intricate world of political polling, highlighting the challenges pollsters face due to evolving communication habits and sample bias. Listeners will gain insight into the significance of the Comstock Act, the national abortion ban, and Trump’s legal troubles in influencing voter behavior and campaign strategies. We'll explore the anticipated upcoming debates and the strategic maneuvers both Biden and Trump may employ.

Furthermore, we analyze the 2022 elections, the performance of incumbents, and the decisive role of key issues like abortion, immigration, and crime. The impact of these issues on voter sentiment in various states and their potential sway in the 2024 elections is thoroughly examined.
