Every other Monday, Aaron is joined at 8:30 a.m. by Tom Jensen, the director of Public Policy Polling, for a longstanding regular segment called “What We’re Thinking,” looking at recent survey numbers and discussing what they tell us about American public opinion – election-related and otherwise.
Joe Biden is out and Kamala Harris is in as the Democratic presidential nominee – but how much of an impact will that have? Tom digs into recent polling numbers to find several strong indications that the move could give Democrats a boost in November. (The race remains extremely close, though; it’s likely going to come down to which party is better at getting out the vote.) Also, an update on state-level races: Josh Stein leads Mark Robinson in the governor’s race, but otherwise Republican candidates have a very slight edge – though that could change when (and if) voters learn more about the candidates.
