Lost in the Middle: America's Political Orphans
The undecided voter
When you keep looking at polls that say Trump is up one here, Harris up 2 there—you need to keep one fact in mind. It’s not uncommon for pollsters to push undecided voters and leaners to pick a candidate.

Mailboxes jammed full of campaign postcards, the incessant tv and radio commercials have pushed the car dealers and home...

It's one of the biggest questions looming over American politics: what will the centrists do? There are as many as 71 million self-identified centrists in America - people who don't feel entirely comfortable with either major political party, and largely agree on most issues - and these are the people who are probably going to decide which of two very different paths America follows. So why can't either party nail them down? And which way will they go? Former Republican Congressman and centrist Scott Klug, host of the podcast Lost in the Middle joins to explain.

The joy of ticket splitting: How voters threw off their political shackles in 2022
Political Scientists tell us ticket splitting is disappearing. But it sure didn’t in the '22 elections where voters in Kansas, Nevada, Georgia, Vermont, New Hampshire and Wisconsin shopped around. We focus on two states: Wisconsin, where ticket splitting seems to be wired into the state’s DNA, and Georgia, which switched from deep blue to deep red 20 years ago and is now fading to purple. Fierce partisans hate ticket splitting. But you’ll meet Georgia and Wisconsin voters who find it liberating. Learn more in the Reading Room: https://www.lostmiddle.com/readin...
