“Basically, I plan to, I will preview the upcoming presidential election use survey data to look at the issues that matter most to the American voter and examine how the two campaigns have approached those issues and this election. In addition, I'll explore the strategies overall, including how candidates are approaching the key "battleground states" and present examples of the campaign ads each side is using. I will also talk about how attitudes about race and gender may play a role this year. I will take a look at this year's debates, with some history and context about the role debates have played in previous elections. I'll have video examples to show regarding that too. I'll also include some information about the upcoming race for congress.”
