Polling Week: The Red Wave (1994) w/ Harry Enten

Published: Oct. 25, 2022, 12:53 p.m.

In the run-up to the November election, we\u2019re doing a number of episodes that may help you track and process the current news. This week, it\u2019s Polling Week, looking at some interesting polling-related stories with our friend Harry Enten of CNN.

\n\n

In 1994, Republicans took back control of congress for the first time in 40 years (!) in what was clearly a \u201cwave\u201d election. We discuss how the polling didn\u2019t anticipate such a big gain, and when you call something a wave vs a swing vs some other term\u2026

\n\n

Be sure to catch Harry on CNN every day!
