One poll 14 months out, or 40 years of Presidential results?

We really need to stop handwringing about these polls! Joe gets into why 40 years of presidential elections show just how meaningless any poll 14 months out is.

Read more about those job creation numbers: https://www.fastcompany.com/90938486/inflation-reduction-act-bidens-land-mark-climate-bill

Sidenote: Joe was on the road recording in a hotel room, so please bear with us on any technical audio difficulties. Thanks you!
