On The Daily Circuit Wednesday, we get a timely update on the current climate of battleground states in this election cycle. Did either candidate get a post-convention bounce in these states? What states are looking like unexpected battlegrounds? What issues matter to the voters in these states?

J. David Woodard, political science professor at Clemson University and a Republican consultant, will join the conversation. Paul A. Beck, professor of social and behavioral sciences at The Ohio State University, will also join us.

"People may say they know how they would vote today but there are still events that have to take place," Beck said in the Dayton Daily News.
