That’s not wide enough.
Knock on doors. Make phone calls. Post on your socials, make a plan.
Our democracy depends on it

I feel like this is the second decent pollster to come out with a seven percent margin in the last few days, is that accurate?

In 2020 Biden won the popular vote by 5 points and it took 5 days to count the votes to determine who won the Electoral College.
If Harris wins the popular vote by 7 points hopefully that will allow her to win the Electoral College as well.
It would be ultimate sadness to see the American experiment to build a democracy die while a majority of American voters are voting to have it continue.

Looking forward to the day when we don’t have to see “vote” under every damn post. I appreciate the sentiment and the work. But damn
I’m going to vote. VOTE

Everyone know Trumps as asshole and the only people not tired of him are his cult members. The amount of people who dislike Biden cannot be underestimated, he was seems as not being in charge. Harris is hitting back, and has energy and people are excited to have someone not over the age of 75 to vote for.
I know people who do not love here but like her compared to Trump.
Trump “only I can fix this” Harris “let’s all fix this together “ is all you need to know.

3 point, 4 point, 6 point and now 7.
Expect it to go up 3 more points post-convention bump.
Maybe 2 more after the de bate.

Will Trump put party before country and drop out of the race?
jasoncross00 on
In a normal society it would be 30 points.
This is not a matchup. This is not a contest. The difference between these people is enormous, and it is obvious which one is a better human, a smarter human, a more experienced public servent, proposes policies to help people, etc.
Our society is broken that it’s even this close.

This doesn’t account for DNC and doesn’t account for RFK dropping out and endorsing Trump. I want this to be true but still need to see how things settle in the aftermath of both events

7 points is nothing. Think basketball scores. If your team isn’t up 30 points it’s a close game.

Won’t get comfortable until it’s 15 points and even then I’ll want it higher.
MAGA needs to be buried so this country can move on and make actual progress.

Bullshit! VOTE like she’s just behind, because with republican cheating, manipulation and the EC in play, she is!

Kamala should campaign in Ohio and Florida. If she wins both of them, then it will be a very short Election Night.
Trump losing Ohio and Florida, both of which are states he won in 2016 and 2020, might make the Republican Party abandon MAGAism and return to relative sanity.

Harris is the thoroughbred in this horse race. Trump is a lazy old bag ready for the glue factory shitting when he tries to run.

I remember voting in 2016. Every day we laughed at Trump and said how he doesn’t have a chance. Everyone got to comfortable. I feel like it’s happening all over again.

Newsweek is garbage. Ignore polls. VOTE.
(Preferably for Harris…)
national polls don’t matter
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
So Kennedy is hurting trump almost as much as Vance. LMFAO
FDU is ranked 2.6 out of 3 stars and is 28th out of 477 pollsters. So pretty good pollster.
Elon did a twitter poll that said the opposite… /s
This survey was conducted BEFORE the DNC convention. What kind of bump did she get after the energizing convention ended?
Newsweek article later today will say Trump is up 10 points
How many of the comments are “GREAT DOESN’T MATTER VOTE”
Excitement is not complacency and the people who read this sub are plugged in.
VOTE:
1) to ensure that Harris wins;
2) to win legislative seats for the people (and not billionaires);
3) to send a message.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-takes-7-point-lead-over-donald-trump-national-poll-1943901) reduced by 79%. (I’m a bot)
