Kate and Josh talk new polls and data on the midterms, Alito's assertion that he'll stay until the end of the term and Trump's doxing of Tom Cotton over...daylight saving time.


Welcome to Polltober! A TPM YouTube Exclusive Series: You have questions, we have answers. Since TPM readers are as obsessed with political minutiae as our reporters are, we’re launching a special limited-run bonus version of the pod in this final month before the 2026 midterms. If there’s anything you want to know about specific races, candidates, chamber control, the courts, the polls, whatever, just drop your queries in the YouTube comments on the latest episode.
