  1. > The latest Farleigh Dickinson Poll found Harris leading Trump 50% to 43% nationwide, with 7% saying they plan to vote for someone else.

    > The most concerning stat for the Trump Campaign is Harris’ 32-point lead among moderates, a large sector of voters Trump needs to get over the top in many key states.

    Holy shit, if she really has a 32-point lead among moderates, we are looking at a 2008 Obama-level victory for Harris. Of course, we have to continue putting in the work to make sure her lead endures and grows though. Let’s do our part to make sure that MAGA becomes just another blip in the history books.

  2. Well no shit moderate voters prefer the candidate that isn’t doing everything possible to scare them off.

    We need to constantly act as though she’s behind until after election day. Remind everyone of this.

    Register to vote. Volunteer. Donate. Vote.

  4. I’m more concerned about swing state polls, which aren’t looking as good. They look ok mind you, but I don’t like just ok.

  5. we can celebrate when we throw the first shovel full of dirt on Donald Trumps’ coffin while he screams from the inside.

    just want to point out to folks that the poll explicitly says it primes voters before asking them questions, aka, this data is for the campaign to determine messaging, not for determining the current state of the electorate.

  7. This is terribly embarrassing for RFK. If you read what his followers are saying they’re still going to write his name in because they are mostly interested in hitting the 5% threshold for a third party so they get more money next election. Many of them have decided not to vote. Probably less than 20% will actually vote for Trump. In the end he sold out for nothing.

    Harris gets an A+ for her campaigning so far and she has a good foundation for the real battle which is yet to begin.

    Now it’s time for the policy phase – announcing them, explaining them, defending them.

    This is a different political skill.

    If she gets all her policies on the table, defends them under fire and her polls show ~10% lead over Trump, then I’ll feel pretty good.

    But great job so far VP Harris.

    I’ve seen about 10 articles about this one poll. It’s great, but it seems like an outlier. We need the average of all polls to get to 7 points before we get too excited.

  10. RFK Jr was still in the race when this poll was done (5%) and the MOE is 3%.

    This is a nothing burger.

    The biggest shocker in the article is that her lead grows if her race and gender are mentioned. I would have bet on the opposite

  12. I knew Kennedy wouldn’t do jack with the polls, but like others here, **VOTE**. That’s what will matter. It’s likely going to be a tight race, no matter what.

    “Men who describe themselves as “completely masculine” favor Trump over Harris by a wide margin, 64 to 30.”

    I asked myself what it means to be completely masculine, then I realized it just means insecure with their manhood, since they see someone like Trump as the epitome of masculinity.

  14. I am not looking at polls, I know this is going to be tough race. I know a lot of people in our country are still racists and misogynistic, and they will vote against Kamala. I am worried about the single issue voters in our party, especially young kids who are out protesting about Gaza.

  15. By definition, anyone in the Democratic party who is running against Trump, should be surging against “moderates.”

    We need to keep the enthusiasm goin’ y’all. Minimally a 60/40 kind of result would be so amazing and an undeniable refutation of what the Lost GOP represents. Unaffiliated voters are going to put this ticket over the top.

    “Men who describe themselves as “completely masculine” favor Trump over Harris by a wide margin,”

    lol. I would love to see what the typical male in this group looks like.

    That self-described “completely masculine” men favouring Trump while all other men favour Harris is telling. TIL that completely masculine means mocking disabilities, putting others down and cheating on your wife and then trying to cover it up during an election campaign. 🫠

    What a poorly written article.

    “***A new poll*** finds Vice President Harris pulling further ahead of former President Trump in ***a new poll***, now well outside the margin of error.”

  20. 7 points is finally getting to the range where she MIGHT win.

    She’s gotta have a lead that big nationwide to win enough votes in the swings states to hang on 50.5 to 49.5 in PA, MI, WI, NC, GA, AZ and NV.
