After a particularly strange primary season, America now has a presidential contest featuring significantly more gaffes than substance. A Republican nominee with only tepid backing from his party base faces a Democratic incumbent with diminished party support and fading luster. Despite desperate attempts from both parties to woo undecided voters, poll numbers aren’t budging.
Now, as the race enters the homestretch and the candidates face debate season, is there hope for an interesting, substantive election? And where will those undecided voters eventually land?
Come meet political reporters Frank Foer, Noreen Malone, Ben Smith, and Nate Cohn for an intricate dissection of the 2012 election so far and a wildly precise forecasting of the month to come.
