Episode 194: Ballot Countdown
The Presidential 2020 election is less than 48 hours and the Sunday shows, understandably, focused their shows entirely on the state of the race. Today on Polilogue, we explore how the shows explain their polls and how they contextualize the campaigns’ messaging.
We also examine what else could be motivating people’s votes in the final few days.
REMINDER: We are taking emails, tweets, and voice memos this week! Please send us any and all election news observations that catches your attention this week. If you see or read some news content that is really well-done OR really poorly-done, send a brief description to us and we’ll include it in next week’s show.
