    I get Trump focusing on the “bro vote”, but how big can that be? I guess in an election this close it matters.

  2. This shouldn’t even be a contest. A convicted felon running for the highest office in the land? A convicted felon that has umpteen charges in three or four other jurisdictions that are awaiting trial? A convicted felon that on a daily basis is throwing out lies, innuendos, conspiracy theories that are quickly admitted as fake and frauds that are causing 20,000 innocent legal asylum seekers to cower in fear and be attacked on the streets with bomb threats? Every day, there’s new revelations that he and his very sick running mate are doing everything they can to undermine and destroy our democracy and yet it’s only a six-point lead for the sane person?

  3. I’m still convinced that polling in the modern US has some unavoidable sampling bias. But I do believe the trends.

  4. Wow, big poll with 11,000 likely voters, seems highly representative. A 6% lead is well outside the margin of error. But take nothing for granted. Check and recheck your voter registration. And above all, get off your butt and vote people. Go KamalaTim.

  5. Maybe I’m being optimistic, but I have a feeling this is just the start and it’s a steady increase from here.

  6. being reported as almost 50/50 is just to fishy. There has to be some rich Republican fuckery going on.

    No matter what the polls say, this election will be ridiculously close.

    Don’t just vote, get involved. Go to [www.votesaveamerica.com](http://www.votesaveamerica.com) to find the best ways to get involved. Join r/votedem to keep informed about races and events near you.

  8. Trump will still pull some type of october surprise that Harris will have to weather. People outside his base are pretty tired or the nonsense so I don’t think it will be as effective this time. It likely gave him the election in 2016.

  9. The craziness between now and November is going to be unprecedented. Good or bad, this is the most exciting election season I’ve witnessed.

  10. Popular vote is good indicator of the trend so it is nice that Kamala has a lead. Ultimately, however, it is the vote in the swing states that matter and right now it is still neck and neck in the most important one, Pennsylvania.

  11. Vote. The American Nazi party must be shown the door.

    When they act like adults and stop lying about literally everything, they can have a seat at the table again.

  12. Holy God we are way better, but holy fuck we have to keep pushing like it is 45-46. Keep going fellow patriots. Crush these Putin sycophants at grassroots support. Neoconfederates have no place here in our country.

  13. She’s moved a bit more center than I’d like, but for a woman who is “dumb” or “slept her way to the top”–she sure had a complex plan to rattle him. I was listening to something yesterday, might’ve been Jon Stewart’s podcast, where someone was walking through all the way Kamala had prepped to get under his skin. It worked from the handshake.

  14. That’s cool. To bad we have an the insane electoral college so the popular vote doesn’t matter.

  15. No lead is safe. Trump overperforms, Dems underperform. Lots of 1st time voters and closet Trump supporters who get missed by polls. Remember Clinton was spanking Trump across the board in 2016. Even tho polling has changed in the last decade, she was an unpopular candidate, and her campaign was poorly managed.

  16. Personally, I think this will be a blowout. Trump’s base is old white men without college degrees and he caters to that exclusively. This demo couldn’t deliver 4 years ago AND it’s gotten smaller.

    She’s now 4% ahead in Pennsylvania. That is a really really big deal. Add that to being ahead in NC, and it’s reason for optimism.

    Vote, people.

  18. Ignore every poll. Pretend that if you don’t vote the future of our country could be very dismal. Get out the 🗳 Vote. Help others. The only Poll that matters is the one on November 5th. Make that one count.

  19. We all expect that Kamala will win the popular vote. That was never the question. The electoral college is what matters. A few dumbasses in key states that are concerned more about immigrants eating Fluffy could land us with four more years of Trump.

    Vote like Kamala needs every single vote. Because she does.
