Race to the White House – opinion polls, Clinton’s campaign, and the third debate

Nevada will play host to the third and final presidential debate. Reuters/Rick Wilking This week on Race to the White House, Brendon O’Connor, Tom Switzer and Emma Lancaster are joined by Simon Jackman to track the history of public opinion polls and how they have come to shape the American political landscape. Polls have been labelled the “pulse of democracy”. But is measuring public opinion good for democracy or destroying it? Our experts also strategise about what red and blue states should be keeping the Clinton campaign up late at night. And finally, they preview the third and final presidential debate, set to be held in Nevada, Las Vegas.
