In this episode, John and Seth look at how polling organizations have tried to adjust to some misses in 2016 and 2020, where they understated Trump’s support by 3 to 4 points. Some polling organizations are attempting to weight their current polls by people’s recall of the vote from four years ago, and our hosts get into the pluses and minuses of doing that. John and Seth also look into evidence that the Republicans’ Electoral College advantage may be shrinking in 2020. Finally, they discuss favorite fall baking projects, including apple pie and apple butter. Some items mentioned:
