But in this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, the crew explains the numbers behind that conclusion. The finding suggests that, despite a lot of handwringing, polling is still just about as accurate as it’s ever been. Later in the show, Galen Druke speaks with Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux about how the debate over abortion has evolved in the aftermath of the 2022 midterms.
