2020 Election Is"
There is just no way I can do it justice by capturing notes - but for those here who are polling and politics nerds and wonks and want to hear about Nate and Galen's discussion on state vs national polling, the various pollsters they aggregate, that Biden's lead is probably being under reported, etc it is an excellent listen. I had it playing on my laptop while I was downloading pics from my phone.
