A day before the election, we examine the latest Clinton-Trump poll numbers, and explore whether the Democrats have a real shot to take back the Senate. 

Many Republicans fear Trump will bring down the GOP with him. But could third-party candidates improve voter turnout enough to boost down-ticket Republicans?

The electoral map has remained relatively unchanged in the last four election cycles. Could Donald Trump's ascension change that? 

Pollster Sam Wang responds to FiveThirtyEight's midterm forecast.

In October, neuroscientists Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang were on Please Explain to discuss how a young children’s brains develop. And this week they return to discuss the brains of adolescents and teenagers—from sleep problems, gender differences, behavior issues, learning disabilities, and hormones. They investigate myths about brain development and sort through the factors that matter—and those that don’t—in brain development from childhood to college. They’re the co-authors of Welcome to Your Child's Brain: How the Mind Grows from Conception to College.
