The Campaign Today

Real Clear Politics moves Minnesota and Nebraska's 2nd congressional district to toss-up.

Nebraska elects two of its five electors according to the statewide vote. The other three votes are awarded according to whoever wins each of its three congressional districts. The second congressional district, which I imagine contains Omaha, leans blue while the rest of the state is beet red.

That single electoral vote out of Nebraska could actually be a big thing. I've seen scenarios where the winner depends on that.

Harris has a 2.1% lead in Walz's home state, and leads by only 2% in New Hampshire.

To which state, she deployed Bill Clinton. Who seems to be admitting that the economy was better under Trump, but that's not a good reason to vote for him (he says).

Speaking of possible flips: Trump just got the endorsement of an Indian leader in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he's holding a rally.

Here's a clip of Trump pitching to Latinos there.

PENNSYLVANIA GE: @EchelonInsights

Donald Trump: 52%
Kamala Harris: 46%
#16 (2.8/3.0) | 10/27-30 | 600 LV

Quinnipiac also flips PA to Trump. It's the first lead for Trump in PA they've acknowledged all year.

Trump receives 47 percent support among likely voters, Harris receives 46 percent support, Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 2 percent support, and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver receives 1 percent support. Two percent of likely voters refused to respond and 1 percent are undecided. This is the closest this multi-candidate race has been in Pennsylvania.
In Quinnipiac University's October 9 poll, Harris received 49 percent support, Trump received 46 percent support, and Stein and Oliver each received 1 percent support in a race that was too close to call.

The problem is the Gender Gap:

Men back Trump 57 -- 37 percent, while women back Harris 55 -- 39 percent. In Quinnipiac University's October 9 poll, men backed Trump 52 -- 41 percent, while women backed Harris 55 -- 40 percent.

Wow -- now we get to talk about the Gender Gap as a good thing. Finally.

Over the weekend, John Fetterman's Monster talked up the "astonishing" "intensity" for Trump in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman opened up about the state of the presidential race in his key battleground state and called former President Trump's support there "astonishing" while predicting that Elon Musk's endorsement is "going to really matter."
"There's a difference between not understanding, but also acknowledging that it exists," Fetterman told the New York Times in an interview published Saturday morning when asked about enthusiasm for Trump in Pennsylvania. "And anybody who spends time driving around, and you can see the intensity. It's astonishing."
Fetterman continued, "I was doing an event in Indiana County. Very, very red. And there was a superstore of Trump stuff, and it was a hundred feet long. [There were] dozens of T-shirts and hats and bumper stickers and all kinds of, I mean, it's like, Where does this all come from? It's the kind of thing that has taken on its own life. And it's like something very special exists there. And that doesn't mean that I admire it. It's just -- it's real."
Fetterman said he believes Musk, who endorsed Trump and appeared with him at a rally at the site of the first assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, will be appealing to voters in Pennsylvania.

"And now [Elon] Musk is joining him," Fetterman said. "I mean, to a lot of people, that's Tony Stark. That's the world's richest guy. And he's obviously, and undeniably, a brilliant guy, and he's saying, Hey, that's my guy for president. That's going to really matter."
Fetterman said he was "alarmed" when Musk began showing up on the campaign trail for Trump and said he's a "bigger star than Trump" in "some sense."

Black voters aren't turning out for Kamala Harris like she needs them to. Black turnout in NC is behind where it was when Biden """won""" in 2020.

According to the North Carolina State Board of Elections, while 1.5 million African Americans have registered to vote nearly 600,000 have voted early.
Data from the 2020 election show about 750,000 black voters turned out to vote early.

That news station spins this loss of one fifth of the early black vote as... "hopeful." For Harris, they mean. They mean they hope blacks will turn out more.

How is having to rely on hope a hopeful situation?

Blacks are not turning out like Democrats need them to in Georgia, either.

Georgians Are Voting Early at a Record Pace, But Democrats Have Concerns
The percentage of Black voters so far is below the 30% target party leaders and political observers like to see.
...
Among those voters are more than 782,000 Black Georgians, whose turnout rate has dropped from more than 29% on the record-setting first day of early voting -- when many Black seniors traveled to the polls with canes, walkers, and wheelchairs, boosting the state's overall early voting turnout rate -- to about 25% since then.
That's the bad news for Harris and down-ballot Democrats, according to Gilliard and other prominent GLBC members who spoke with Capital B Atlanta on Monday. North Carolina, the other Southern region battleground state, has also seen low Black voter turnout during its early voting period.
Black folks, who overwhelmingly support Democrats in most elections, comprise about 31% of Georgia's overall population. Elected leaders and political observers say Democrats looking for a guaranteed win in statewide office races in Georgia usually need to hit a 30% Black turnout rate. And Black turnout during early voting is usually higher than it is on Election Day.

And also keep in mind that Trump's share of the black vote may double from 9% to around 20% or even higher. So the black vote isn't just low -- it's also skewing to Trump.

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

BREAKING - Nate Cohn of NYT: "Black share of the electorate might drop and that the overall turnout might drop as well. Republicans are participating more vigorously than usual (even compared with prepandemic elections) in early voting."

I heard someone say that in all of the blue cities with large black populations, blacks just are not turning out at the clip that Democrats need. But I can't remember who said that and I can't quote it, so take it with a dose of salt.

The Daily Mail's final poll puts Trump at 3% lead nationally.

Donald Trump has overtaken Kamala Harris in the final DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners national poll before Election Day, with the former president holding a three-point lead over the vice president.
Both candidates have shored up their bases, but Trump has done better at picking up support from independents and undecided voters in the final push, according to the data.
The poll of 1,000 likely voters, which has margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, shows that Trump is trending up, with the support of 49 percent to Harris' 46 percent.
The race is still close. Yet, with five days to go, the numbers mean Trump is currently on course to become the first Republican candidate since George W. Bush in 2004 to win the popular vote.
The vice president held a one-point lead when the poll was last conducted in September.
She enjoyed a two-month honeymoon after President Joe Biden announced he was ending his reelection campaign. Her poll numbers and fundraising surged amid a wave of enthusiasm.
But since then the race has tightened to become one of the closest in history.
James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners said the poll was good news for Trump's chances of winning the White House.
'The movement under the surface suggests Trump is having a better closing moment in driving up enthusiasm than Harris is, and undecideds and third-party candidate supporters have also broken for Trump in the last month,' he said.
'He has also seen improvement among voters of every race, and leads in all age groups apart from 18--29-year-olds.'
The full results show third-party candidates making little headway.
Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and Libertarian Chase Oliver are all on just one percent.
Independent Cornel West's share is rounded to zero percent.

Perhaps the starkest finding is the gender mismatch in the contest.
'One thing makes this election stand out from others: When voters go to the polls next week, they will be sharply divided on their gender, with women being more likely to vote for Harris and men more likely to vote for Trump,' said Johnson.
Harris can count on the support of 54 percent of women, while Trump has the backing of 40 percent.
Men break 59 to 37 for Trump.

Atlas Intel also puts Trump ahead nationally. 1.4% lead in a hypothetical two-way scenario, and 1.9% when the full field is asked about.

Atlas Intel has all of the swing states going to Trump, and some by 4 or 5 point margins. (Others by one or two.)

I don�t think the Vice President got what she hoped from her speech tonight, standing in front of the icon of her failure. My take on ⁦@AC360⁩ for ⁦@CNN⁩: pic.twitter.com/zw0wpoitCn

Unfortunately, that might not mean much. The machines in the blue cities can easily account for those votes as long as there are a plausible number of warm bodies in the district, regardless of race.

24 A friend of mine who has run some national and statewide campaigns for Republicans in the past thinks PA is looking like a bloodbath for Dems from the data he's seeing. Might be why Trump left early.

Sean Spicer has a good YouTube channel and he had someone senior in the trump campaign talk about a number of things. He was actually pretty honest, not just feeding spin. He said the single Nebraska EC vote looked like a longshot because of the demographics, but was generally upbeat on all the traditional swing states and even some of the "reach" ones like NM, NH, and VA.

Democrats are not. They're turning their backs on habit evident over the previous few election cycles that showed them preferring early voting by...not voting early.

Does that mean that Democrats will become more invested in Election Day voting? Or will the millions of Democrats who haven't voted this year but had in early voting 2 and 4 years ago just not vote?

The more congresscritters, the more EV's.

Do the donks have control of enough voting apparatuses and can they harvest enough ballots to fortify the election results.

That's it.

Not polls, not rally size, not apparent voter enthusiasm.

As was also said, if there is no apparent winner declared by, say, midnight on election night, then the chances of a Trump victory plummet precipitously.

We have essentially two or three more days of early voting in most states and while elderly blacks are turning out most likely for Kamala, the younger ones so far have not. Independents normally break against the party in power or they don't vote (mostly leaners with some true indys)

That makes a cheat by stuffing the ballot box very risky compared to 2020 if those early Dem votes have not appeared by the end of early voting.
All of the Dem turnout machine is based on turning voters out early, waiting for GOP election day voting, and then figuring up what votes are need to cheat (usually using their float of absentee ballots and plain ballot box stuffing like running ballots through multiple times, etc.). That is obvious because the paper trails etc. do not exist then.

Worse, if Dems are defecting from the ticket at a higher rate than the GOP, some of those assumed Dem votes may not be in fact for Kamala.

Most people don't vote based on policies or ideology. It's more a cultural thing for them. They absorb talking points over years within their culture, and it just becomes a baseline.

By my reckoning, what they have is a group of states banked for doing what needs to be done.

People seem to read this wrong. In 2020 they had 8 states banked for a cheat and I think they converted 7 of them. Their problem was that they needed 7 of the 8, and they needed them to cheat way more than anticipated. That was because of FLA--they had thought that was a gimme and they could pick and choose a couple of the banked states for an easy win.

This time Trumps chances depend on getting enough EC votes, including some they had not planned on, and thwarting a cheat in enough banked states that the Dems can not get over the top even if they shut down counting at 3:00AM and produce 10s of thousands of fake ballots like they did in 2020.

Because if they have to produce a milion fake ballots they will, but he EC system means it is not about ballots, it is about states

- lawsuits filed
- “No standing!”
- “Trump is trying to do another insurrection!”
- a smattering of right-wing types get arrested by their FBI handlers
- Trump is told in private if he concedes and retires from politics they will drop the charges and judgments against him

Trump wasn’t allowed to contest an obviously-stolen 2020; why is this different.

The J6 psyop was designed to make it impossible to challenge uniparty fraud ever again.

The criminal and civil cases against Trump were pushed back past the election so they’d have leverage. He’s already said he won’t run again.

In some Southern states like GA, it is on the voter registration card and tracked. LA too if I recall right. That was for simplifying Voting Rights Act compliance measurement for GA (probably LA too) because of disparate impact lawsuits and former preclearance issues with DOJ

Fair point. It just seems that what is already going on in Detroit will make it insurmountable.

But, you are correct. Trump is over performing Sen Johnson's '22 totals and so if he wins WI by 3-4, will be tough for these people to say with a straight face he lost Michigan by 2%

Personal likability and approval for voting are two different concepts. Enten is playing to the peanut gallery. There is also a problem with socially acceptable answers (and of all things of some research information that Gen Z generally lies about political matters if they answer at all.)

There was a divergence during the Clinton 2nd term where his personal likability took a massive hit but his presidential approval rating was high due to peace, good economy, etc.

Hypotheticals are generally trash surveys because people retcon how they would answer. People that don't like Walz due to what has come out or whatever, will retcon their survey response today to how they supposedly felt back before the choice was made.

I know one person who is pro abortion and calls it women’s health but she is greatly in the minority. Her husband is very wealthy, both of her sons are in college and her entire social life consists of working out in my studio every day.

Nurse, this is VERY different from 2020 and 2022. For one, Twitter is a free-fire zone, rather than a place where October Surprises are smothered with a pillow. Second, Ronna Romney is OUT, so this GOP is better positioned to fight fight fight than last time. Yes, Mitch is doing his level best to sabotage the GOP, but we all know who the good guys and the bad guys are this time.

When the game field extends to other states like NH, MN, NM, etc. then something is going on. Makes it more difficult to actually game out a cheat as well. Each state's players worry about leaving their ass in the wind if they go first. There will most likely NOT be able to do the all swing states stop counting at the same time without serious backlash and probable immediate court action to prevent it.

The fact that abnormally high absentee ballot levels due to Covid were sent out as emergency measures is what enabled the multi million cheat totals (especially in cheat by mail states).

That being said, the urban cheat machines had to go into overdrive to try to salvage an electoral win by a very small overall margin.

The PTB wanted Trump gone and the GOP leaders agreed to let the Dems cheat to do it.

"I don't share your rosy view of Trump or his 'era.' I think [sic] that his influence was largely negative and destructive for the US and worldwide, and think a second term would bring chaos and division that would be disastrous.
I don't know if he really fulfilled any of his campaign promises and this time his intent appears to be purely revenge.
I believe we will be better off as a country under Harris. Only the wealthy prospered greatly under Trump, and hatred, bigotry and racism also 'prospered' under his influence.
The stacking [sic] of SCOTUS took away some of our hardest won freedoms.
I am as dumbfounded by your perspective as you are by mine. But I love you anyway, though I think you're misguided.
I think if she is defeated, Harris will accept that. Trump? insurrection anyone?"

Because people by and large do not vote for VP if they meet the acceptability test of being sane (Eagleton was dumped because of that) That is a consistent finding over years of presidential data in the modern elections since FDR.

The VP selection is almost always more for internal party power being divvied up than for voter appeal. Same for PA Dems that are grumbling--they would have voted for Kamala anyway but with Shapiro on the ticket, they get patronage and an insider seat.

Furthermore, the words and opinions of people who actually worked and dealt daily (personally and closely with Trump) -- like Gen.

===========
When the game field extends to other states like NH, MN, NM, etc. then something is going on. Makes it more difficult to actually game out a cheat as well. Each state's players worry about leaving their ass in the wind if they go first. There will most likely NOT be able to do the all swing states stop counting at the same time without serious backlash and probable immediate court action to prevent it.

The fact that abnormally high absentee ballot levels due to Covid were sent out as emergency measures is what enabled the multi million cheat totals (especially in cheat by mail states).

That being said, the urban cheat machines had to go into overdrive to try to salvage an electoral win by a very small overall margin.

The PTB wanted Trump gone and the GOP leaders agreed to let the Dems cheat to do it.

Splitting hairs. Cruz is anti-abortion and voted to confirm several of the justices who returned it to the states, where it was banned, in the case of TX. Cruz supported a nationwide abortion ban, and I actually think he would have voted for it.

368 The bottom line is that there is an extraordinary amount of voter enthusiasm and intensity behind Harris at the moment. Some Republicans look at big Trump rallies and assume that there has to be less passion on the other side. That’s not the case. It doesn’t mean that Harris will win, but that enthusiasm and the poll numbers make it clear that this election is wide open with less than a week to go.

Where do they get this shit analysis. Muh feels/vibrations etc. and polling on turnout should be reflected in EV totals which we have not seen in state after state.

It would be reflected in EV stats as the Dems don't really have a strategy for Election day Turnout.

The Dems have always pushed early voting or absentee and the time to request absentee ballots is over in most states.

That requires a massive logistical effort in the two or three (depending on state) EV or on Election Day on part of Dems to get their low propensity voters to the polls. In addition to tasking their people to cure ballots, harvest absentee ballots not returned,etc.

Shit is a lot more complicated than muh feels analysis.

I have a suggestion!

407 Oh, yes, NJ has a number of rural counties that are reliably Republican voters, but as with other places the cities votes tend to outweigh them.

408 All I can say to the DOOM patrol is that if the cheat is so good why did they coup out Biden? Why did Obama fail to Ditch Kamala and put whoever he was thinking of backing in the open convention? Why are the Harris campaign pulling out of swing states and into blue states if the cheat is going to crush all opposition?

409 Thanks, Piper!

That said, I'm pretty sure Herself New Dawn will be on the road with me for TxMoMeetX.

Don't know who'll be in the left seat yet, though.

As to criticizing drivers. It's my JOB! I've been training the new drivers for the company for about seven years now. Hardest thing to learn 'em, is how to drive with Chauffer Smoothness.

Job is to have the passengers be pretty much unaware of "being driven". Seamless transition from gas to brake, perfectly arc'd curves and corners, VERY high level of integration into various lane speeds and traffic gaps.

Coming up I-45 from Galveston, I'm happy to set the cruise at the posted 75mph, and then work the mirrors and lane-ahead, to best pass slower traffic and resume the right lane, keeping the left lane clear for the speedsters.

Bonus: Ultra smooth driving yields some nice MPG bonuses, too.

Bonus II. In the words of the great race car driver Sterling Moss: "Slow is Smooth, and Smooth is FAST!"

And with fraudulent votes too. I've lived in a blue city before.

411 >>> 373 This is why you bring your kids with you to the MoMee. Especially the TX MoMee.

412 If Trump is not declared winner by the Friday morning after the election(being generous) , then he will not ever be declared the winner.

---------------

If Trump doesn't win on the night he won't win at all. Withholding the result means the cheat will be in full swing with no possible backing off for Dems.

Trump is sworn in to office.

417 That NM rally pick reminds me of a pic of a Romney campaign rally just before he lost decisively. I remember the caption was something like "there's something happening here".

Posted by: wat at October 31, 2024 06:49 PM (Dk542)

418 Of course. But since you're the Bacon Wench, and I'm tentatively planning to attend the TX MoMe next year, I'm currying favor.

I think that is what is called, in the vernacular, brown nosing?
N'est-ce pas?

419 "That single electoral vote out of Nebraska could actually be a big thing. I've seen scenarios where the winner depends on that."

Trump better get more than 270. If he "wins" 270–268 the Democrate will use threats, bribery, blackmail, "any means necessary" to turn a couple of Trump electors. They actually tried that in 2016.

420 I so pray that I am wrong:

None of it matters. The fix is in place and no matter how much trump leads, at the eleventh hour, in swing states, the Democrat minions will find enough votes in various districts to put her over the top. This city has a population of 500,000 but Kamal needs 50,000 to take the state -- no problem! Those extra 50,000 "votes" will be recorded and suddenly, there are 550,000 people living in that city. Don't forget, "These aren't the droids you're looking for."

We're so screwed.
