The opinion polls through August, September and October 2024 have revealed an incredibly close Presidential election contest in the US. Indeed, by many estimates, this is looking to be one of the closest presidential contests in the modern era with the outcome potentially on a knife edge. That fact should focus attention as it raises the very real possibility that the US could experience even more political strife and conflict after 5 November, depending on the vote in several crucial swing states. Please join Professor Carman one week before the US elections as he discusses the state of the contest and what we might expect when we wake up on 6 November (and beyond).
