Elections Podcast Countdown: 4 Days

FiveThirtyEight
 

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 effect of single polls on the forecast model, media coverage in the final days, and one vague Florida ballot initiative.

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 our browser tabs
  • How the alternate-timeline election is looking
  • A listener question
  • One interesting ballot initiative
