We are less than a month from Election Day.

That means our polling colleagues are busy. And that they are well positioned to help answer some of the biggest questions we have at this stage in the race.

On today’s show, we do our best to get answers — and to get ready for these next few weeks.

Featured on today’s episode:

Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The New York Times.
