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%).***

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

I've never seen a Trump supporter like you work so hard to not get him elected.

GREAT JOB!

2) I will say it again. This election will be decided by white suburban women.

There should be a full ad campaign focused solely about Harris' comments about "having a conversation" that people who are sitting in jail for sexual assault and other violent crimes should be able to vote and therefore have a voice in shaping our public policy. There is so much material simply not being used to present a cohesive and simple message. Wasn't done in 2020 either.

Supposedly Kamala has done wonderfully and Trump has screwed every single thing up. Yet with all that, it is tied in the battlegrounds where the race will be decided. If anyone should be worried right now, it is the Dims.

“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.”

They sure picked a strange way to show it. Law suits, lawfare, attempt assassination and likely attempting to imprison him.

IIRC, YouGov is an internet solicited poll.

Trump does not care about nor count on the suburban whispering angel rose, take me to Cancun, get these kids out of here, Xanax, chemical peel, eyebrow lift, Yellowstone (porn) is a great show because Costner is dreamy, We Do Not Go To Church on Sunday, we are busy, birth control, abortion kill that baby, women vote

Period

Yougov is an ‘internet community’ according to one story I read. You can query about them on the internet and find where they basically pay/reward internet users to take part in surveys/polls, etc. in some cases.

I don’t put much credibility with them, myself.

the price gouging policy is perplexing to me

kamala has been in hiding so the media can whitewash her history and present her as a moderate

and then she comes out as full commie

Consider Hilary in 2016. Enough fellow women voted against her and for Trump to derail her despite demographic raw numbers advantage by women. And Hilary, for all her many faults was certainly seen as stronger on security issues for the average voter than Kamala Harris ever will be able to be.
Advantage Trump.
Can we make it too difficult for them to overwhelmingly cheat this time?
I surely hope so.
In the mean time, support get out the vote and ballot harvesting efforts for the Republican side and pound the message of a better economy under Trump.
Remind fellow voters that that the struggle with crazy high prices and green new deal crap does not have to happen and that Trump will fix this.

Their polls are total propaganda bullshit. Totally not true.

Woman Educates CNN Reporter on why Trump is Winning over so many Black Voters.

“The attacks on him have done nothing more than Strengthen Black People’s Connection to him.

He has been Been Mocked, Scrutinized, Slandered, Dragged into Court and he’s Standing Strong because he knows he was Chosen. He’s our David.”

The lawfare was an effort to drive support to Trump which worked. The bungled assassination was after Trump took a commanding lead in the polls, which wasn't ever supposed to happen.

In the end, it will come down to women wanting abortions on demand. Nothing else matters to them - not policies, not finances, not crime, not drugs, not illegals. Only Abortion matters.

Kamala isn’t just getting a free pass. She’s receiving a love fest.

An hour after Biden stepped down and endorsed her, the New York Times put out a feel good, humanizing article about how she loved to cook. The rest of the MSM did this sort of thing as well. Social media bots on Reddit and elsewhere flooded those sites with pro-Kamala propaganda. “Everyone loves Kamala and always has” was the message even though that wasn’t the truth at the time (even democrats didn’t like her). And they did so non-stop for days. The goal was to convince Democrats and left-leaning voters (especially easily socially influenced women) to accept Kamala without hesitation because that’s what everyone else is doing. And it worked.

I have never in my life seen such an extreme push of propaganda in such a short time.

Anyway, I agree with your larger point. She can definitely win. For the reasons you stated and others.

I don’t agree the lawfare was an effort to drive support to Trump. That’s just nonsense if that isn’t a typo.

CBS / YouGov had it exact for Biden but Trump nearly 50% (Trump won nearly 6 points higher than was reflected in this 2020 poll poll.)

No, New York Post, they’re not dead even.

Trump is winning and will win if only legal votes are counted.
