Battleground voters back ‘experienced’ Donald Trump over ‘establishment’ Kamala Harris in seven-state poll
The New York Post ^ | 10/04/2024 | AG Gancarski

Fresh polling of the seven swing states widely seen as deciding factors in the presidential election holds good news for Donald Trump.

The 1,598 likely voters Ipsos polled in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin rate the Republican nominee better in key areas than Democratic candidate Kamala Harris

These impressions give context to an overall 1-point lead for the former president in the swing-state survey, encompassing states with a total of 88 electoral votes.

For starters, battleground voters are more than twice as likely to see the vice president as in thrall to the political establishment than they are the former president.

Thirty-five percent of respondents believe Harris is part of the current system, while just 16% make the same assertion about Trump. And though voters believe Harris is the establishment candidate, they also discount her lack of experience compared with the former president, again by a more than 2-to-1 spread.

A whopping 47% of respondents credit Trump with more experience; just 21% believe Harris is the more seasoned selection — a seemingly damning dismissal of her nearly four years in office.

***

By 48% to 33%, battleground voters trust Trump over Harris to handle the undocumented aliens whose presence has multiplied amid a porous border and diffident enforcement from the Biden-Harris administration. With 1 in 3 voters seeing immigration as a top-three issue, this is a meaningful metric.

On war and terrorism, Trump is also the pick: 42% of voters favor his approach, while 32% believe Harris is better suited to handle global conflict. *** A third of all respondents (and 46% of Republicans) identify inflation (or is it Bidenflation?) as the top issue in this election, suggesting the devalued dollar represents an area of weakness for the Democratic candidate.

As anecdotal evidence, here in the Travis Heights area of Austin, which is far left, I’ve only seen 2 Harris/Walz signs. In 2020, there were boatloads of Biden/Harris yard signs.

I have not seen any Trump signs here in 2016, 2020, 2024. I think the reason for this is that Trump supporters don’t want their residences firebombed by “ peace loving, open minded” Democrats.

We are some stupid voters.

If they have a functioning brain they will.

I live in Bucks County,PA and for the first time in 20+ years the county has more registered Republicans than Democrats. Also, in 2020 I would rarely see a Trump sign, now they’re all over-—I do see Harris/Walz signs but nearly as many as “Biden” signs that I saw in 2020...FWIW...

“In 2020, there were boatloads of Biden/Harris yard signs.”

I’m wondering if yard signs are not losing favor. It seems more emphasis is being place on social and broadcast propaganda.

Not stating this as a certainty; probably varies by community.

Have seen more Trump signs outside the burbs. I see an occasional Harris/Walz virtue signal in the wealthier areas.

Making the assumption (not including fraud) that actual polling of real voters is Trump +2 of what the polls say.

This is one of the few IPSOS polls seen this year that feels real and not one of their D plus 6 polls.

“I’ve only seen 2 Harris/Walz signs.”

Up here in the top of the country (MI) in a deep red rural area I’ve only seen one house with a Harris sign. The bullet holes in it were a nice touch LOL.

That might be a great sign if you used stickers replicating bullit holes.

Is it possible that this might be due to democrats who registered as republicans to vote against Trump in the primary?

Was there any perceived upside for Dems registering as Republicans and voting against Trump in the PA primary?
Trying to think of any upside for Dems?

If you YouTube it the iPsos pollster lady had an interview with a fox station saying she had no idea how things would look after the VP debate I guess we know the answer now since IPsos uses a D+4 national polling model

Only that they might have wanted to run against Nikki Haley in the general rather than Trump thinking she would easier to defeat.
