SPECIAL | As it turns out, Americans are still full of hope

On the cusp of an historic election, where partisan divides are tearing both families and communities apart, USA TODAY went out looking for hope in America. Over the course of the summer, USA TODAY reporters visited six towns, all named Hope, to gauge the mood of the voters. Podcast host Dana Taylor's visit to Hope, Arkansas was among them and was featured in part one of this series on Hope in America, which aired last Sunday. Following our reporting on the ground, USA TODAY conducted an exclusive poll with voters. USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page joins The Excerpt to share her insights.
