The presidential race is swinging in former President Donald Trump’s direction, according to a national poll released by Marquette. The latest survey shows both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris tied with 50 percent support each in a two-way race with leaners included. This reflects a four-point swing in Trump’s direction, as the last poll — released August 1 — showed Harris up by four points, garnering 52 percent support to Trump’s 48 percent support. The survey also took a look at the results with a “full field” and found Harris up by a single percentage point — 48 percent...

Former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris in key swing states, polling from Trafalgar Group reveals. The surveys for each state asked, “If the election for president were held today, for whom would you vote?” The pollster first looked at the swing state of Pennsylvania and found Trump edging out Harris by two percentage points — 46 percent to Harris’s 44 percent support. Another four percent of Keystone State respondents put their support behind independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and five percent remain undecided. Trump has an even bigger advantage in Nevada, leading Harris by three...

Former President Donald Trump said that he plans to stay off the campaign rally circuit until after the Democratic National Convention, which ends on Aug. 22. The pace and the plan for the Republican nominee’s August this year is a stark departure from what Trump’s schedule looked like in August of 2016, the last time he campaigned in person for president. Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, — as well Trump’s running mate JD Vance, — have all spent the week barnstorming presidential battleground states.

I would like to run something by my fellow Freepers.

The number of foreign nationals in the U.S. currently eligible for naturalization outnumbers the 2020 presidential margin of victory in five battleground states. A report released by the American Immigration Council (AIC) on Thursday concluded that if some or all of the country’s 7.4 million not-yet-naturalized-but-eligible residents got their citizenship before November, they could swing the 2024 election. That’s unlikely to happen, as the naturalization process for eligible foreign nationals takes roughly eight months from application to receiving a certificate of citizenship. But the report highlights the disconnect between the size of immigrant communities, their economic impact and their political...

Experts believe there are only a handful of states that could plausibly be won by either Democratic President Joe Biden or his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump. Six of them - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – appear to be on a knife edge and probably hold the key to who will take the White House. So both parties are campaigning intensively to win over undecided voters in these states.

The Republican Party is enjoying an 11-point swing their way against the Democrat Party as the number of Americans expressing affiliation with their party has increased. A Gallup poll conducted between April 1 and 22 showed that the Republican Party was enjoying a net average of 11 points in voters expressing affiliation with their party over the Democrats, compared to results in 2016.

Add Bloomberg/Morning Consult to the latest round of polls showing Donald Trump sweeping all the 2024 swing states. Just a few days ago, EmersonPolling/the Hill surveys found former President Trump leading His Fraudulency Joe Biden in the seven states most likely to decide the next president. Thursday, Bloomberg/Morning Consult showed the same. Here are the results from a two-way race: Arizona: Trump 49 / Biden 43 — Trump +6 Georgia: Trump 49 / Biden 43 — Trump +6 Michigan: Trump 46 / Biden 44 — Trump +2 Nevada: Trump 48 / Biden 42 — Trump +6 North Carolina: Trump 50...

The latest polling from Bloomberg News/Morning Consult shows former President Donald Trump beating His Fraudulency Joe Biden in seven out of seven swing states. According to the poll, a big factor is Biden opening up our southern border to allow millions of unvetted illegal aliens to invade our country, suck the welfare rolls dry, and cancel out our votes: Six in 10 swing-state voters say President Joe Biden bears responsibility for a surge in [illegtal immigrants] at the US-Mexico border, a downbeat signal for his reelection prospects as Republicans largely avoid blame on the issue, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll...

Former President Donald Trump holds an advantage over President Joe Biden in a number of swing states — which largely decided the last two presidential elections — in a hypothetical head-to-head 2024 general election match-up, according to a comprehensive Morning Consult-Bloomberg News poll. Trump leads with registered voters in five of the seven swing states in the poll, released Thursday, including Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Biden and Trump are deadlocked in Michigan, and Biden leads in Nevada.

For years, Georgia has been a deep-red state. But after securing President Biden the White House in 2020 and electing two Democratic senators, a changing demographic shows the Peach State has become a critical battleground state. Coming out of the 2020 election, Georgia was thought to be a red state trending blue. But the recent reelection of Sen. Raphael Warnock (D), despite Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s victory at the top of the ticket, underscores the extent to which the state has become unpredictable.

The latest Monmouth University poll released on Monday showed that there had been a massive ten-point swing from August to September in favor of Republicans controlling Congress after the midterms. The latest poll showed that the ten-point swing happened between the August and September polls. Overall the September poll showed that 47 percent would prefer the Republicans to control Congress compared to the 44 percent who said, Democrats: Republicans: 36 percent Doesn’t matter, but lean GOP: 11 percent Democrats: 34 percent Doesn’t matter, but lean Dem: Ten percent Doesn’t matter, no lean: Eight percent Don’t know: Two percent

Voters in key swing states overwhelmingly disapprove of President Joe Biden, a Civiqs survey released this week revealed. Biden is struggling to revive his ever-tanking approval rating, as 55 percent disapprove of his job performance nationwide. Throughout his presidency, Americans have watched as economic conditions worsen, inflation remains high, and gas prices grow higher and higher with each passing day, consistently breaking new records as industry experts predict worsening conditions.

Only 35 percent of registered independent voters in swing states approve of President Joe Biden’s job performance, while Republicans are more “engaged” than Democrats, bolstering GOP confidence ahead of the 2022 midterms. The poll conducted by DemocracyCorps also says 47 percent of registered independent voters disapprove of Biden, while “Democrats are winning a mere 17 percent support among independents on the generic ballot, with 34 percent backing Republicans and a 45 percent plurality saying they’re undecided.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly hit an intraday record high on Monday before diving into negative territory as investors grew increasingly concerned that tightening restrictions in New York City and elsewhere could weigh down the economy. The Dow hit an intraday record high of 30,325 after the first hour of trading but slumped through the rest of the day as positive news on the vaccine rollout was offset by news that further restrictions will crimp business in the weeks before Christmas. New York City Mayor Bill di Blasio said that the city could need to go into ‘full shutdown’...

Republicans are closing the voter registration gaps in key swing states, according to the Trump Victory data obtained by Axios. While Democrats hold an advantage in voter registrations in several key states, the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee are closing the gap, registering 100,000 new voters prior to the upcoming election. Many of those new registrations are in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Florida, and North Carolina — three states Donald Trump narrowly secured in 2016

A new survey conducted by President Trump's campaign pollsters finds impeachment is unpopular in districts carried by Trump in 2016 where Democratic lawmakers are seeking reelection. The poll, conducted by Tony Fabrizio and Travis Tunis, surveyed 30 voters in each of 30 swing districts that voted for Trump in 2016 but elected Democratic House members in 2018. The Trump campaign did not poll New Jersey's 2nd Congressional District, where Rep. Jefferson Van Drew (D) is expected to switch parties and become a Republican. Overall, the surveys found that voters in those swing districts opposed impeachment by a margin of 53...

ALTA VISTA, Iowa - Authorities have charged an Iowa couple with murder in the death of their 4-month-old son, whose maggot-infested body was found in a baby swing in the family's home. Twenty-year-old Cheyanne Harris and 28-year-old Zachary Koehn were arrested Wednesday on charges of child endangerment and first-degree murder in the death of their son, Sterling Koehn. Court records don't list attorneys for either of them. Their preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 2.
