Harris leads Trump 2-1 among the earliest voters, many driven by abortion access: new poll
A USA TODAY/Suffolk poll shows the presidential race tied, but there's a divide between early voters and those who plan to wait for Nov. 5.
Not really surprising and honestly a little disheartening because traditionally Republicans usually vote on election day. Looks like another indicator that somehow, given all the information available on both candidates it's going to be a close race. I'm sure Harris will win the popular vote but it'll again come down to the swing states and the electoral College.
The article does correctly point out, for what it's worth, that Republicans are trying to get out the early vote this year. Overall, it notes, Harris is 45%, Trump 44%. 52% Trump, 35% Harris on Election Day, approximately half of voters.
Swing state voter here voting on Election Day because I don't want any stop the count fuckery to rob me of my vote.
Not a Dem but sure as fuck voting for them.
Nope. Republicans vote early too. They have been moving to early voting Besides, Harris has this. Professor Allan Lichtman actually has a proven scientific method that works all the way back to 1860. He has arguably predicted the last ten elections accurately. He predicted a Trump win in 2016 - only he and another predicted person that. ALL the polls were massively wrong.
Won’t be satisfied until she wins 2-1
There is no guarantee of a Harris win, and it may come down to a few thousand votes. People need to get out and vote!! GOP might pull another GW Bush v Gore on us, which would be even worse, so there can’t be anything other than ensuring voter turnout is high. Dems always win with higher voter turnouts, at least that’s what we’ve seen historically.
Don't listen and vote. Talk to friends and family an urge them to vote.
Most crosstabs in polling that specifically ask, "what single issue is so important to you that it will drive your vote?" or something similar, show that the single biggest issue (plurality, not majority) is abortion.
I think women are going to show up. I don't think this gamble with young men is going to match polling. Women as a group outnumber men, out-register men, and always show up to the polls in greater numbers.
Last I checked Harris has a larger lead with women than does Trump with men, with a smaller population size to boot.
I had someone come to my door to make sure I was voting, and they asked me what my number one issue was and I couldn't pick one. They listed off things like abortion, the economy, foreign affairs, etc. and I still couldn't pick. It's all fucked.
No "all of the above" choice? Haha... Hah...:(
The Dems don’t just need to win the popular vote, and they don’t just need to win enough states to dominate the electoral college—they need to win by enough of a margin that victory cannot be snatched away from them by any kind of dirty tricks. No battleground state officials Chewbacca-defencing refusing to accept the vote and getting bailed out 6-3 by the Supreme Court, no Brooks Brothers Riot 2.0, no flood of bogus lawsuits delaying certification until the deadline passes and it falls on the House of Representatives to choose the President, and no other shenanigans they might come up with. Because this time, the apparatus is in place to steal the election if it’s at all close.
I want to believe, but I just don't see it happening. I live in a swing state rural area and I've seen easily 3-4x more trump signs in yards than I have in elections previous, and I'm livid.
It would be a surprise if some states that were Republican in these elections became Democratic.
I really hope some states flip blue or at least purple as a wakeup call
I've been saying this for a while, but I believe it will be a large margin win for Harris and the democrats. I don't believe a large portion of Republicans will actually go to the polls this year. They won't bring themselves to go show up to the polls. The dems can push this hard and I believe more seats than the dnc are expecting will end up flipping to them.
Yeah. I honestly don't know.
Firstly, fucking vote. Don't get complacent no matter what. Make a plan of how to get to your booth on the big day. A lot of media between now and then will try to make you feel like you don't need to bother.
That said, having consumed a lot of commentary about this, from organisations I think are reasonably balanced, I just have no idea what to expect.
After the big day, it could be an outright shooting civil war, or Kamala could win in a landslide because republicans are too ashamed to vote, or Trump could claim victory and just get away with it. In any of those starkly different outcomes I'd think "well this was a really predictable outcome"
I hope you're right. Let's make it so!
I don't know, I saw a lot of Trump supporters when I voted today.
I hope you're right and we can get a big blue victory, but Republicans have always been consistent voters.
Always good to start your day with some good news.
2 - 1, wow
This is actually pretty dangerous news. Hillary was also leading in the polls.
Gah! Why does everyone bring this up? Was no one around in October 2016?!
James Comey, Director FBI, publicly announced they were reopening the investigation into Clinton's emails, 3 weeks before the election.
Liberals are always saying, "But her emails, hurr!" Yes, her emails. This was explosive news and handed the election to Trump. Doesn't matter that Clinton later faced no consequences, all the public heard was, "Meh. Maybe she is a criminal. We're having another look."
The polls were right, Clinton would have won if not for this absolute bombshell at the 11th hour.
Doesn't matter. Get out and vote, america! And for all you other people, call america out for the bullshit that is it's politics.
So a lot more people would vote Trump if the only thing that changed in their policy was the stance on abortion? That's disappointing, considering the policies and the plan of Project 2025.
I think it's more along the lines of "more people would be apathetic" and just wouldn't be bothered to vote.
That tracks. Trump has effectively vilified mail-in and early voting to reduce Republican participation.
If he's losing, his strategy is to undermine mail-in votes, attempt to characterize them as fraudulent, and get as many of them thrown out as possible. Even if he can't get them tossed, he will claim that Democrats are using illegal immigrants and other ineligible voters to steal the election, stirring up his base for more extreme actions. He will point to the "impossible" Democratic bias in those votes as evidence of fraud. If those votes weren't overwhelmingly Democratic, this strategy wouldn't be as effective.
Along with other tactics, such as challenging certification and having armed militias patrol polling places, this is part of his campaign's multi-pronged approach to undermine the election if he's losing, and they haven't exactly been hiding their plans.
Just like what happened in 2016.
