Fact-checking election attack ads

We’re less than a month from election day. It’s the time of year people really look to polls to tell them what is going to happen... and a couple of polls have local Democrats feeling nervous.

This week on Sound Politics, what do the numbers say about support for banning trans girls from playing in girls’ sports? And is an initiative seeking to repeal the state's millionaires tax to blame?

We're joined by State Government Reporter Sarah Mizes-Tan to break it all down.
