Episode 52: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year... for polling that is! On this week's episode of The Horse Race, our very own Maeve Duggan of the MASSInc Polling Group joins as a co-host with Steve Koczela to take us behind all of this week's freshly published polls.
Since we're just one month out from election day, we'll get you caught up on the Baker / Gonzales debate with Gin Dumcius of The Springfield Republican and Mass Live. Then, Katie Lannan joins us again for a quick update on the Secretary of State race. And as a special, polling season exclusive, we get on the phone with the head of our primary call center, Paul Braun of Braun Research to see behind the scenes of how polls are really conducted.
