This weekend, CNN aired Battleground anchored by John King. The program took a look at how a few key states may determine the election. John King was reporting from Ohio, one of the states that could easily go for either candidate. How much can you really rely on the polls that come out each week? King spoke with the Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner about the number of new voters in the state and the impact that they could have on the final election results. He also used the magic map to examined the districts within Ohio that the candidates need to do well in in order to win the state's electoral votes in November.
The other concern with the accuracy of the polls is the Bradley Effect.
John King discussed the impact this has on the campaigns with Dana Bash, Jessica Yellin, and Peter Hart.
As King ended that program it brought back the point that all politics is local.
Here's the latest schedule for the CNN Election Express:
10/15 - Presidential Debate, Hempstead, NY
10/24 – 10/25 - CMJ Film Festival, New York, NY
