• The Harris campaign is showing new strength in must-win states ahead of the party’s convention.
  • In Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Harris leads Trump 50% to 46% among likely voters.
  • It’s a reflection of the continued reset of the 2024 race after Biden’s exit.

    Enthusiasm wins elections, because people actually take the time to go VOTE. It’s amazing how few people actually do!

      Also voting is the one thing those bastard pig fascist bootlicking simp conservative chud SCUM don’t want us all to do. You can tell because of how much outrageous effort they dump into making voting more difficult. So: fuck 'em. They can eat shit.

      It’s not even that I like the democrat party at all.

      I just want the republicans to lose. Fuck them in hell for eternity.

      Bonus; If the GOP gets curbstomped into oblivion where it belongs (with the Federalist party) then the democrats won’t be able to say “well at least we’re not republicans!” anymore.

      Imagine uncle sam standing before the behaded corpse of an fat frumpy anthropomorphic elephant, still holding a big bloody machete and smiling at an anthropomorphic donkey.

      “Oh, you’re not like him? Why, Yes, You’d better ‘be like him’ as little as possible if you don’t want to end up like he did too!”

      The democrats only get away with their fuckery because they always hide behind their favorite token excuse.

      They still delusionally think the republicans are their pet controlled opposition.

      That pet is not controlled. It is entirely OUT of control, a danger to everyone, both completely feral and RABID.

      It’s time for America to take that violent, deranged, savage animal out to Kristi Noem’s gravel pit and end its life right before its democrat "owner"s’ eyes. If we make an example of the republicans, the cowardly shits in the centrist party will either see the light or flee.

    It needs to not be close. Biden was polling way ahead in 2020 but he only won effectively by like 85k votes. Yes, he got 7 million more votes total but in the closest states that could have seen him lose, only about 85k people was the difference between Biden winning the presidency vs Trump winning.

      2020 was decided by even less than that! Closer to 43,000 votes across Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

      It needs to become a nation-wide single-issue to revamp our campaign finance and election system.

      That means abolishing the Electoral College and FPTP, addressing Gerrymandering, implementing ranked choice voting, and publicly-funded elections. This is the only way we fix our democracy at the root of the problem.

    In Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Harris leads Trump 50% to 46% among likely voters.

    That’s within the margin of error. That doesn’t really count as a lead.

      No, but Trump’s leads were also within the margin of error, so it’s encouraging to see a swing, even if it might just be noise.

      She’s only been campaigning for a few weeks. The DNC hasn’t even happened yet. I would call this pretty phenomenal.

      You don’t know the margin of error unless you know the sample size. I didn’t see the sample size mentioned in the article.

    My private corporation run a pool the other day and it turns out a third party has 60% of the votes.
