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%).***

1) Caveat: registered voters

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

3) As such, pound the issues and refine from ad hominem attacks, comparing crowd sizes, discussing your opponent’s race.

4)[ ***an overboard and simplistic statement, but I will say it anyway***]: when it comes to voting, with most men, you can generally win their minds and their vote will follow; with a good number of white suburban women, you have to win their hearts first.

Does any cogent creature believe any of these polls reflect reality?

Their only purpose is to shape opinion.
If they were really accurate, the candidates wouldn’t have their own “internal polls”.

refine [refrain] from ad hominem attacks, comparing crowd sizes, discussing your opponent’s race.

Exactly. Yet that's impossible for Trump for some reason. He has no filter in his brain. He's unable to develop a script or if he has one, he's unable to stick with it. I don't think he even has one. We all think Harris is an idiot but she stays on script.

The Media will be controlled by the Government. Harris who cannot think, will be in control of the Government?

Interestingly, black demographics, which are usually a big deal in polling, isn't represented in the poll numbers at all.

Does any cogent creature believe that Kamala Harris winning is not outside the realm of possibility? I can assure you, she can win.

Some people really need to step outside their safety bubble once in a while and sample the real world.

I agree. Also, thanks for pointing out the typo. I’m a cup off coffee short today.

The fact that she needs a script somehow goes right over your head.

Yep. And they're a very reliable voting block.

Meanwhile, we have 24-30 million working-class white men in this country who aren't even registered to vote.

The average American is stupid enough to allow her to win.

Totally agree. They will make the election about everything else but their failures.

Just went straight to calling everyone stupid if they don't accept the premise. Nice move.

I can assure you, she can win.

WELL?! Tell everyone how, in your opinion, she can win.

Or can you not articulate your theory?

By “script” I don’t mean something you read word for word. I mean a set of themes that you keep pounding on. Every successful Presidential candidate has done that, including Trump in 2016. It was the border, bringing manufacturing back from overseas, law and order, and “crooked Hillary”.
