The September 2020 VPR-Vermont PBS poll found that 56% of Vermonters would vote for Vice President Joe Biden over President Donald Trump if the election were today.

The VPR-Vermont PBS poll released Tuesday shed light on Vermonters' feelings on the upcoming election. This hour, we'll talk with the poll director and a panel of journalists about the results, including Gov. Phil Scott's continued rise in popularity over his challengers and who Vermonters plan to vote for in the presidential election.

    • Peter Hirschfeld, VPR reporter who covers state government and the Vermont legislature
    • Cat Viglienzoni, WCAX general assignment reporter 
    • Paul Heintz, staff writer for Seven Days
