As the 2016 campaign comes to a close, the FiveThirtyEight Elections podcast team is recording daily episodes. Listen above for the latest installment, in which we discuss the latest swing state polls, Donald Trump’s strategy in the final weeks and Maine’s first-in-the-nation ballot initiative for a new kind of voting.
Each day, we’ll touch on some of the same basic topics:
- The state of the forecast
- New polls
- What the campaign managers are emailing about today
- What we have open in in our browser tabs
- How the alternate-timeline election is looking
- A listener question
- One interesting ballot initiative
