Creeping Authoritarianism?
On this week's episode, we take a look at our new state polls from Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina, as well as the impact they may have on each candidate. Then, is authoritarianism really on the rise? We discuss with a special guest. Finally, with one week until Halloween, we wrap with a ghostly fun fact.

Show Notes
We just released new numbers from the battleground states of Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina. While very little has changed since our polls from those states a few weeks back, there is a striking finding when we look at how voters are thinking about non-Presidential races on some ballots.
Then, are authoritarian regimes really on the rise? We talk with author and professor @AnneMeng_ from @UVA about her research on the rise, or lack thereof, of far-right leaders around the world. Is the threat here in the U.S. real, inflated, or imaginary. Or all three?
Finally, Halloween is just one week away, and we stick with our theme and wrap the show with another frightening fun fact.
