Democracy Sausage: The United States’ election year ahead

What can Australia expect from this year’s US election, and how may the issues and campaigns infiltrate our own political landscape? 

What do economic polling models suggest and how will other key issues impact the way people vote? 

And, most importantly, can we already forecast who will be the winner at the end of the long campaign? 

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Dennis Quinn, visiting from Georgetown University in the United States, and Emeritus Professor Paul Pickering join Professor Mark Kenny to pick apart and predict what’s ahead for the 2024 US elections.

Dennis Quinn is a Visiting Fellow in the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University and the Powers Professor of International Business at Georgetown University. 

Paul Pickering is an Emeritus Professor and Director of the ANU Australian Studies Institute. 

Mark Kenny is a Professor at the ANU Australian Studies Institute. He came to the University after a high-profile journalistic career including six years as chief political correspondent and national affairs editor for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times.
