Donald Trump and Kamala Harris dead even in battleground states amid wide gender gap: poll
The New York Post ^ | 08/18/2024 | Ryan King

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are effectively dead even where it counts — the battleground states, according to a new poll.

Mirroring the polling group’s findings from a separate survey released earlier this month, both presidential contenders scored 50% apiece in the battleground states, per a CBS News/YouGov survey released Sunday.

Harris, 59, came away with the lead in a national head-to-head matchup between the pair 51% to 48%, which marks an uptick from her prior 50% to 49% edge over him in the prior survey.

Strikingly, 36% of voters felt that they don’t know what Harris stands for, compared to 64% who do, while 14% were unsure what Trump, 78, stands for, compared to 86% who do, per the poll

***

In Pennsylvania, Trump scored 50% to Harris’ 50%, Michigan (48% to 49%), Wisconsin (49% to 49%), Nevada (48% to 50%), Georgia (50% to 48%), Arizona (50% to 49%), and North Carolina (50% to 48%).

***

Translated into the Electoral College map, if those numbers held, that would mean Trump would get roughly 262 electoral votes compared to Harris’ 247, with the rest tossups.

***

Along gender lines, 45% of men favored Harris, compared to 54% who preferred Trump, while 56% of women wanted Harris, compared to 44% who selected Trump.

***

Top issues for voters include the economy (83%), inflation (76%), state of democracy (74%), crime (62%), gun policy (58%), US-Mexico border (56%) and abortion (51%).

***

For voters who called the economy a major factor in their decision, 56% went to Trump, compared to 43% for Harris.

The same was true with inflation (61% for Trump, 38% for Harris) and the border (76% to 24%). Harris was ahead on abortion (69% to Trump’s 30%) and on safeguarding democracy (57% to 42%).***

If Kamy gets in the WH there will be race riots and food riots. The shelves will go bare just like the old USSR.

If they’re anything like my wife, we’re screwed. She has no understanding on how money works or how it is to be used. To her it’s spend, spend, spend on junk.

The Swamp filth wants the issues because they know that loses.

What won in 2016, and not by much, was chasing the 30% of voters who do not vote, and that was done with Drain The Swamp and build the Wall.

The other reason to ignore Swamp Filth is that unless Trump says outrageous things, it will never be in the MSM.

No one has a fix for inflation. About all that can be done is blame it on Biden. But that’s a sentence or two. The rest of the time has to be spent proving to the 30% non voters what this is not a politician talking. This is a Swamp drainer.

WELL?! Tell everyone how, in your opinion, she can win.

This country elected Obama twice. Outside of Free Republic and Trump rallies, people hate his guts. Kamala is getting a free pass from the media. There's 24-30 million working-class white men who aren't even registered to vote but every white soccer mom is and they're all voting for Kamala. At least half of Americans are retards and we're importing more of them.

That's how she can win.

What about the black vote, conspicuously missing in this poll?

The black vote is lost so the focus goes to women being the deciding factor?

PLEASE!

Meanwhile, we have 24-30 million working-class white men in this country who aren't even registered to vote.

Says who?

I don’t pay attention to polls. They had Hillary beating Trump handily.

Has the country gotten smarter since then? I don’t think so.

I’m telling you and you all know this …polls don’t mean diddly squat it is who turns out to vote on November 5. Even if Trump was leading by 5pts I would still say don’t count your chickens before they hatch! What matters is the poll on November 5! That’s the queen bee of ALL polls!

Voter registration rolls. You can look them up yourself.

Trump's base of working-class white men are low propensity voters, notorious for being politically disengaged.

Kamala's base of college-educated whites are high propensity voters. They show up enthusiastically for every election.

And black voters tend to be concentrated in the urban areas of solidly red states (think Mississippi or Alabama) or in solidly blue states (Illinois).

I mean a set of themes that you keep pounding on.

Given her past you shouldn't bring up pounding anything...at all...ever.

A script or set of themes or issues to push. GOT IT.

Add the Roman Catholic vote to that equation. IF they vote in numbers for Trump that’ll help.

I take it you don't get out into the black community much.

And Trump barely won by the skin of his teeth and hasn't won anything since (except his primary race).

Lost the House in 2018.

Lost his re-election in 2020 (after he signed Pelosi's CARES Act ensuring millions of untraceable mail-in ballots were sent out and then stupidly told his voters not to use them).

Lost the Senate in 2021 after stupidly telling Georgia voters not to bother voting.

And nearly every one of his hand-picked midterm candidates went down to defeat in 2022.

Trump has been the best GOTV drive the Democrats have which is why they wanted him so desperately to be at the top of the ticket in 2024.

And, yes, I hope he wins in 2024 but I will not be surprised if he doesn't.

I hope you are wrong. Any civilization that depends on the decisions of white, suburban women is already beyond saving. They will eagerly accept their hijab and sex-slavery, because they are biologically programmed to respect strength, and socially programmed to hate white men. Those who bite the hands that feed them will lick the boots that kick them...

You're spouting statistics for which you can't provide the receipts. GOT IT.

Out right LOL now.
Go spoon your BS on the gullible.

Gee, and this is with Trump doing “everything wrong” according to some of his ‘supporters’.

How come I don’t hear Democrats screeching about their candidate “doing everything wrong?”

Harris doesn’t even eat meat. She is a Vegan. Wants to take our meat away.
