    Putting The Horse Race Out to Pasture

    This week on The Horse Race is the last week on The Horse Race. That's right folks, its the final episode! We've crunched the numbers: 400 episodes published, 3 million trivia points doled, 75 titles and accolades awarded, and one "giddyup" from Jenn. Jenn and Steve leave you all this week with a look forward, a discussion about the democratic wave sweeping the country and what's next for #mapoli. If you are feeling as nostalgic as we are, below are a few of our favorite past episodes and shenanigans. Thanks all for all for listening. And with that, it's off to the glue factory. .

    Polling the void: Chatbots as human substitutes

    Do we need humans to gather public opinion anymore? This week, Steve and Jenn are joined by Rich Parr, VP of the MassINC Polling Group, to stare into the abyss of "silicon sampling" and what it means for polling. How is it done? How accurate is it? Should you have to disclose the fact that your public opinion research did not include... the public? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opinion/ai-polling.html https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/political-analysis/article/out-of-one-many-using-language-models-to-simulate-human-samples/035D7C8A55B237942FB6DBAD7CAA4E4
