Democracy Sausage: Resurrections and reversals
Data analyst Simon Jackman joins Democracy Sausage to chat about the polls, swing seats and how the global uncertainty is impacting this election.
When did Labor’s recovery start?
How has uncertainty in the US influenced the framing of this election and left the Coalition vulnerable?
And does this election cycle point to any changes in how the major parties operate?
On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Professor Simon Jackman joins Professor Mark Kenny to talk about polling data and the AUS-US relationship.
