Midterm polling is showing close races all around the nation ahead of this election, but how much can voters actually trust the numbers coming out of key battleground states? FOX News Contributor and host of the "The Hugh Hewitt Show" Hugh Hewitt joins the Rundown to break down the latest campaign stops, key Senate races, and why he compares polling season to candy corn. He also dives into how both parties are framing economic issues and fraud allegations. As the midterm elections loom, political analysts are closely watching whether shifting voter sentiment and sliding approval ratings for President Trump could upend control of Capitol Hill. Veteran Democratic pollster and Schoen-Cooperman Research founder Doug Schoen joins to discuss competitive Senate showdowns from Texas to Michigan, assess whether Democrats are riding an authentic blue surge or simply capitalizing on a "red retreat," and deliver his bottom-line forecast for election night.
