Episode 29: Let's analyze some 2022 polling!
In this week’s episode, we discuss two things: the new NYT/Siena polling on the 2022 midterm election and Sen. Joe Manchin’s recent scuttling (over inflation concerns) of the last dregs of Build Back Better. (NYT) The midterm polling has some super interesting nuggets around Biden v. Trump, voter issues, and generic congressional ballots. President Biden will sign an Executive Order on climate programs in response to Manchin — and you’ll hear how we feel about the White House’s decision to split up prescription drugs and ACA extensions and climate/energy.
