  • This Thursday, President Biden and former President Donald Trump will go head-to-head in the earliest presidential debate ever. It is also the first contest between a president and former president in over a century and the first debate not run by the Commission on Presidential Debates since 1988.
    In this installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew discusses whether historical expectations for presidential debates will apply in this unique situation. They also dissect some questionable uses of polling and preview a couple of high-profile primary races in New York and Colorado.

    At the very least, an explanation as to why full episodes and videos aren't available here would be nice rather than constantly ignoring the complaints.

    The little comical preview at the beginning of each episode (or now podcast?) is completely ununegaging and ineffective now that theres no accompanying video.
    Might as well just scrap it because its complerely pointless.

    You discuss the apparent disparity between how much experts say the debates can change the polling (3%) versus 17% of people saying the presidential debate has _ever_ changed their vote.
    These two stats are compatible.
    Firstly, the average voter in the USA is about 50 years old and has seen about 8 presidential elections as an adult. If they say that the debates affected them _ever_, it could be one time in eight.
    Secondly, the number of voters who switch their voting intention because of a particular debate is going to be greater than the expected poll change. 3% could change from Trump to Biden, 4% could change from Biden to Trump, that would be 7% of the population changed their voting intention but the overall poll change is 1%.

    Could it be that right now, a lot of the polling is a referendum on the incumbent, especially President. And as the election draws closer. Then it becomes a true horse race between the two candidates?
