Battleground State Roundtable

We'll talk with political reporters and analysts from a handful of these battleground states and ask them how their state has voted in the past, what the big issues are for voters this year, and what the polls are saying about which candidate has the lead. Laura's guest is Jennifer Donahue, senior advisor for political affairs at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College in Goffstown. We'll also hear from Joe Hallett, senior editor at the Columbus Dispatch in Columbus, Ohio; David Yepsen, political columnist at the Des Moines Register in Des Moines, Iowa; Susan Macmanus, professor of political science at the University of Southern Florida at Tampa; Erin Neff, political reporter at the Las Vegas Review-Journal in Las Vegas, Nevada; and Dr. Robert Diclerico, professor of political science at West Virginia University.
