  • A joke?

    Todays episode 🤦🏻‍♀️ here’s an idea. Maybe do some actual journalism and interview the other side.. you may find the reason why. Oh also, the use of the term “ free money” just laughable. Not news or journalism 😂

Hour 3: The final poll numbers before election day, what do they say?
Q: So what do you say to the people who say, there's no way that Biggs is not even at 40%, which he's not?
Coughlin says the firm reports what it finds without trying to spin the results, and that voters can judge the poll against the election outcome.
Hour 3: The final poll numbers before election day, what do they say?
Q: So the top three, you've got Hobbs, Fontes and Mays blowing away their opponents. Have you ever seen numbers like this a week before an election?

Hour 3: Why is your pumpkin costing more this year?
Q: What do you see from independents when it comes to Katie Hobbs or the Chris Mays race or the Adrienne Fontes race?

Hour 3: Why is your pumpkin costing more this year?
Q: So why is Noble Predictive going to have, in your opinion, the most accurate polls?
