Former President Donald Trump is edging out Vice President Kamala Harris among independents, this week’s survey from the Economist/YouGov found.
The survey asked registered voters, “In November 2024, who do you plan to vote for in the presidential election?” Overall, Harris saw a three-point advantage over Trump nationally — 47 percent to the former president’s 44 percent.
Another one percent said Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and one percent said “other.” Another five percent said they are not sure, and two percent said they would not vote.
However, among independents specifically, Trump has taken the lead from Harris yet again, as 42 percent of independents said they would vote for Trump, compared to 40 percent who said Harris. Another 11 percent remain unsure.

Careful what you wish for...
Amen. Wasn’t Economist/YouGov one of the more accurate polls in 2020 (and maybe in 2016, too)?
LOL, good one!
Never thought I’d see the day that communists could win the presidency and take over our freedom. Pray to the Good Lord it doesn’t happen.
If they win you won’t be able to vote them out.
The real question is: Are the Gallup ID numbers correct. If they are then it seems that Trump is up, substantially. If Trump is winning independents then he’s winning because there are more R’s than D’s. All the polls are using D +2-5
Having RFK Jr. and Tulsi on Trump’s side is huge.
“Wasn’t Economist/YouGov one of the more accurate polls in 2020 (and maybe in 2016, too)?”
In 2020 they were mid pack.
Biden won IND +9 in 2020. That has to be panic inducing to the RATS
People here in 2020 said “stop being pessimistic.”
I suffered from the days leading up to the election, the steal reports and sudden finding of more new Biden votes, and then the horror of losing the White House and Congress to the Dems.
A 50-50 split means the Soros and Communist woke types will have lots of fraud opportunities.
I truly believe this election week and the days after will have lots and lots of violence. Who honestly believes one side will say “Well, we tried and lost. We will be the loyal opposition now and hope for better outcomes next time. Congratulations to our opponents.”*
Think about that. If not, then violence. In my opinion-—and not with happiness about it in any way.
* Hubert H. Humphrey election night.
“I have done my best. I have lost. Mr. Nixon has won. The democratic process has worked its will, so now let’s get on with the urgent task of uniting our country. Thank you.”
Later official concession included:
I am sure you know that I have already called Mr. Nixon to express to him our congratulations, and I have sent the following telegram just a few moments ago to Mr. Nixon. It reads as follows:
“According to unofficial returns, you are the winner in this election. My congratulations. Please know that you will have my support in unifying and leading the nation. This has been a difficult year for the American people. I am confident that if constructive leaders of both our parties join together now, we shall be able to go on with the business of building the better America we all seek in a spirit of peace and harmony. Signed, Hubert H. Humphrey.”
Another near the end of his speech (after he and the staff need a little rest now):
“I never had any doubt but what it would be a close fight, comme ci, comme ca, you know, one way—-it bounced a little one way—it bounced a little another.
We’ve got a President-elect. He’s going to have my help. Cheers.
The polls use state registration data for the D/R/I, but 16 states do not register by party.
Calif and NY do and this will nudge D/R/I towards D, given TX does not.
Love that meme. Thanks.
This recent habit people have of ignoring overall poll results (like this one where Kamulatto still leading) and desperately trying to find any tiny nugget of good news (Trump up slightly among some subgroup!) is the sort of thing that belies the false bravado we so often see around here.
Microscopic poll dissection and the cherry-picking of anything that sounds good is basically anecdotal BS, like counting yard signs or doing our own scientific “polling” of neighbors and co-workers, so it’s not worth much at all because of the severe bias involved — seeing what we want to see and ignoring the rest.
It’s reminiscent of how the media and other liberals treated economic reports during the Reagan Boom in the 80s — the economic news was excellent across the board, but the media was SO desperate to find SOMETHING they could bash Reagan with, that we’d hear things like:
“While most of the economic news was somewhat good in this latest report, the unemployment rate among 24-year-old crippled black lesbians actually INCREASED by 0.001%. This proves without a doubt that Ronald Reagan is a racist and his economic policies are a dismal failure. Film at 11.”
Along with their eternal dedication to spreading propaganda — anything, as long as it helps Democrats — they just couldn’t bear to face the truth, that the economy was in fact performing fantastically even though they wished it wasn’t.
That’s interesting since Civiqs has Comrade Harris underwater with indeies by 22 points and even 10 with indie women.
I watch a lot of polls daily (I know it’s stupid) but why does Fox News consistently show Harris ahead in Pennsylvania and North Carolina?
Too funny
In late September 2020, Gallup released their favorability poll: Democrats 47% Republicans 42%. This 5 point advantage nearly matches Biden’s 4.5% advantage (Biden 51.3% Trump 46.8%). In September 2024, Gallup’s favorability poll is now Democrats 45% Republicans 48%. So Gallup is saying Republicans now have a +3% advantage over Democrats. This is good news for Trump.
