Listen Later

We are less than two months away from Election Day now, so what can we learn from those weekly polls? Should we even pay attention to them? 

Our guest today analyzes American campaigns and elections.

Kyle Kondik is the managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

He explains how polls work in today’s world, why the polls failed in 2016, and whether we should rely on them this time around.
