As we reach the final days before the Nov. 8 elections, control of Congress still seems like it could be a toss-up – even in Georgia, where controversies have plagued the Republican candidate. Two polling experts – Kabir Khanna, deputy director of elections and data analytics for CBS News, and Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, join host Doug Sovern of KCBS Radio on “The Homestretch” for its final episode to get an overview of this and other key races.

What can fix it? Are any politicians offering viable solutions? Kaitlin Devaney, a criminology professor at Northwestern University outside Chicago, joins the show to help us find out.
