Puerto Ricans in NEO, Poll Accuracy

Many Latinos in Northeast Ohio trace their roots to Puerto Rico. And their home territory is in trouble. On the Sound of Ideas, we'll discuss the growing debt and humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico. The debt is north of $70 billion dollar and 45% of the Puerto Rican people live in poverty. We'll get a Cleveland perspective on the crisis. Later in the show, can we trust political polls? Join our conversation.
