The votes are in, and NYC has a new mayor-elect: Zohran Mamdani. Plus, Mikie Sherrill wins the NJ gubernatorial election and Abigail Spanberger becomes the governor-elect in Virginia. How did the polls do? Let's debrief! Then, we talk with Marist's very own Coach Pete Colaizzo of the cross country and track and field teams about marathon running. We'll also hear from a familiar face about his own running experience. Welcome back, Neel Viswanathan! And, in this week's fun fact, getting rid of traditions...Is this some sort of trick?
The votes are in, and New York City elected Democrat Zohran Mamdani as its next mayor. Plus, Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger have become governors-elects for New Jersey and Virginia, respectively. Now that we have the results, how did the pollsters do? We'll take a look at some of the last polls completed just before the election and see how they compare to actual results.
Turkey trots invite first-time racers and families, while marathons attract serious runners, chasing personal bests and qualifying times. While the running community has seen growth since the 2020 pandemic, overall, many Americans seem fairly confident that they will not be taking up new running endeavors anytime soon. But, on the chance that they change their minds, we hear from ultra-marathon runner, Coach Pete Colaizzo from Marist University to get his advice on racing. Plus, we invite a second running expert on: former Poll Hub Producer and Marist track athlete Neel Viswanathan.
Finally, for this week's fun fact--what American tradition would YOU want to do away with? If you said trick or treating, we've got some serious questions for you.
