Race considerations crater Trump support among non-white voters
Fairleigh Dickinson University, Madison, NJ, August 23, 2024 – Voters nationally give Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris an edge over former President Donald Trump in November’s election by a seven-point margin (50 to 43), but race and gender remains central to the vote. When voters are made to think about the race or gender of the candidates, Harris’ lead grows substantially; when they’re not, support is essentially tied. Harris is also helped by strong support among the slightly less than half of men who reject traditionally masculine identities. Trump’s strongest support is among men who hold traditionally masculine identities, while women and other men strongly favor Harris.
“Trump has built his political career around a very specific performance of whiteness and masculinity,” said Dan Cassino, a professor of Government and Politics at Fairleigh Dickinson, and the Executive Director of the poll. “In the past, that’s been seen as a strength, but it’s no longer clear that it’s working.”
In the overall sample, Harris leads Trump 50 to 43 among likely voters, with 7 percent saying that they will support someone else in November’s election (with undecided voters included, that lead is 47 to 40). Both Trump and Harris have the support of 95 percent of their partisans, and Harris leads Trump 38 to 33 among independents who do not lean towards either party. Similarly, Harris has a strong lead among self-identified liberals (87 to 10), progressives (93 to 5) and moderates (62 to 30). Trump leads among conservatives (76 to 19), and MAGA voters (95 to 4).
To examine the effect of race and gender on vote choice, an experiment was embedded in the survey.

Never heard of this poll it’s total bs
Yeah, it’s all BS. Setting up for the steal.
Did they poll only college students?
The actual name for this school has always been:
FAIRLY RIDICULOUS U.
Lol
Hard to believe. How do you take your money out of the country?
The poll is way off, fictitious, and conducted before the RFK Wave to Trump-Vance.
We visit an extremely leftist major city. Of about 80 people we’ve spoken with, only 2 are still voting the DNC party slate this year. Harris is just “too much BS” for most Democratic Party voters, even life-long adherents.
There’s absolutely no way she’s leading except if the poll took into account the DNC’s ETM (Election Theft Machine), the very same one that installed her and Biden in 2020. You know, thousands and thousands of magically-appearing “votes” at 3am after the polls close.
The DemoNaziCommie ETM was extremely effective then. It will be extremely effective again in 2024 unless it is finally shut down and dismanted like SOON!
Regrettably, this commentator doesn’t see much evidence of the GOP (or anybody else) doing this, thinking especially of where it is most successfully entrenched (PA, MI, WI, AZ, GA, NV...)
I will be SO VERY happy if anybody here can correct this.
Thanks
Polls can be made to reflect whatever you wish for them to reflect.
Polls can be manipulated in any direction, depending on your point of view.
Any poll that can show Trump leading nationally by 1 point, cannot be undone by another poll that shows a swing of 8 points in the opposite direction. People can be wishy-washy, but not to that extent.
What are "race considerations," Farleigh?
How do you take your money out of the country?”
You can send it all to me, and I will take it to Fiji.
sounds like a contrived poll
Oh no, not the Fairley Dickerson poll.
“Trump has built his political career around a very specific performance of whiteness and masculinity,” said Dan Cassino, a professor of Government and Politics at Fairleigh Dickinson, and the Executive Director of the poll. “In the past, that’s been seen as a strength, but it’s no longer clear that it’s working.”
That makes the whole poll rather suspect. Garbage in. Garbage out. Not just for computers anymore.
FWIW, the latest daler24 Poll has Trump up by 26.
No it doesn’t. And that silly nitwit is not polling ahead.
Fairly Ridiculous University
Am I the only one that remembers that just a few months ago they were hinting at replacing Kamala as vice president on the ticket, because she was so disliked? She had even lower ratings than Joe, who was forced out of the race because he couldn’t win
