Mar 19, 2026

This week's Illinois primary election underscored that "campaign cash is not a strategy." Veteran political pollster and advisor Rod McCulloch from Victory Research joins Lissa & Thom to dig through the rubble of recent voter behavior.

All the answers and many more questions are inside this episode of the Crisis Cast. 
 
Plus, you'll hear predictions for the "Super Bowl" of elections: the next vote for Mayor of Chicago.
