Summary

In our final podcast before voting concludes, we discuss the small boost Vice President Harris saw in the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. The race is still well within the margin of error, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the final outcome will be close. We also discuss what issues have shaped the race.

And we will be live on air and online Tuesday night. Find our coverage at NPR.org in advance of our podcast in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.

The podcast is produced by Jeongyoon Han, Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

0:38.9

news podcast, up first. That show is recorded before dawn and out by 7 a.m. Eastern time each

0:45.3

weekday. Often, you'll hear one of us from this show on that one. It's the morning podcast that

captures the news overnight. Up first, 7 a.m. Second, later in the day, you can find a new

anxiety over this election season, I'll still be tuning into the NPR Politics Podcast to stay informed.
