Comeback kid? Trump at 268 electoral votes in new swing-state survey
NY Post ^ | 10/21/2024 | A.G. Gancarski

New polling of eight battlegrounds shows Donald Trump on the verge of completing a political comeback the cynics said was impossible after the 2020 election.

But he’s not quite there, per the Redfield & Wilton survey of 8,533 likely voters in the octet of battlegrounds, though the state-level data are encouraging.

Trump leads by 3 points in Arizona, 49% to 46%. He’s up by 4 in Florida, 49% to 45%. In Georgia, the ex-prez leads 48% to 47%. Nevada shows another 1-point lead: 47% to 46%. And it’s 48% to 45% for Trump in North Carolina.

This gets him to 268 electoral votes, forcing Kamala Harris to win the blue-wall states.

The poll suggests it’s possible, but Harris isn’t closing the deal.

Every vote matters. It has to be a clear mandate.

Man, NC is all over the place. This poll has Trump up +3 in NC. Others have it even or Trump trailing by -1 or -2.

If Trump can somehow win PA and MI ...

Voting machines vote blue. Too bad they are stealing the election again.

How does anyone know who the early votes are for?

My guess: At this point, assuming the ballots aren’t opened until Nov. 5th, its assumptions based on who voted by party affiliation.

If it's based on the number of signs I've seen for Harris/Walz vs Trump/Vance here in suburban Central Texas, that bodes well for the DEMs.

He should be. Republicans have a nearly 1m voter registration edge over Democrats. Still, the margin doesn’t count because he only gets 30 EC votes if he wins by 1 or 1m. It is the other states that count.

Strange ... we see nothing but Trump signs when we’ve (recently) driven through Central TX.

Which county are you seeing Kommie signs?

You may want to move!

Williamson County, which went +9.5% for Trump in 2016 (vs +9.0% for all of TX). In 2020, Williamson was -1.4% for Trump, while he was +5.6% for all of TX. Truly depressing, and unfortunately, moving is not an option.

The MSM even suggesting FL is anything but ultra Red is nonsense.
Ron changed the State.
Sure wish he would bring that message to TX, VA, KT and AZ to clean up the GOP mess that is still there.
Perhaps after the election.

I voted in north Dallas.
Agree long lines. Looked like large women and/or teachers union turnout.

Is there a difference in when ballots are opened and counted between early voting and absentee voting? As in early voting they are recorded immediately and absentee they are held secret until election day?

Yikes.

That’s too bad ... but, Dallas/N Dallas has turned blue, for the most part, over the past decades :-(
