Australian Politics Weekly podcast: polling day beckons

Politicians scramble to make a final impression as polling day edges closer. Will Tony Abbott's careful, careful approach get him over the line or could Kevin Rudd create a miracle?

Guardian polling punter and Stanford politics professor Simon Jackman explains national and local electorate polls and their relationship with betting odds. Jackman reveals the stats and numbers as he sees them, with surprising predictions.

Also a wrap of the election race to date with press gallery journalists; Guardian Australia's Lenore Taylor, The Conversation's Michelle Grattan and Malcolm Farr of news.com.au. It's a wide-ranging chat summing up the campaign on both sides, key differences, policy failures, covering the election in the 'virtual bus' and a whole lot more.
