Gemmill 42580 Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago https://www.economist.com/interactive/us-2024-election/trump-harris-polls/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/ Two poll aggregators. The economist one has a prediction model too which has shifted back to giving Harris a 60% chance. Still dead close, and it's the swing states that count but there's been a marked shift since the debate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6575 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago It'll come down to Pennsylvania IMO. Whoever wins that will be getting the keys to the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the republicans definitely need it but hope somehow the Democrats can win without it. Such a weird heterogeneous state with a major modern city in Philadelphia, rust belt city in Pittsburgh, surrounded by rural Hill Billies and 18th century Dutch christians. I don't trust it remotely.

They 'can' win without it, but I don't think they will. To win without it they'll need to pretty much take every other swing state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42580 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Harris +5 in Pennsylvania and Michigan in two new polls. Obviously it's only one poll in each state, but it's indicative of the wider trend since the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To win without it they'll need to pretty much take every other swing state. You're probably right. There are 19 electoral votes in PA which is a swing total of 38. But I think Biden won by a margin of 74 in 2020. I do think it is more important for the Republicans than the Democrats but yes, will likely be crucial to both.

Although tbf, that has dropped off the news agenda pretty quickly, at least internationally speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, undecided voters aren't gonna go "wow another attempt on Trump. I better vote for him." People are bored of it, I reckon. Can you imagine having to watch the news that day. The endless stories of a rifle barrel poking through a bush, without even the payoff of a shot being fired or a photo of the prick punching the air. That second attempt will change even less than the first one did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there may be a general feeling of "he's fucking staged this one, hasn't he lads?" because it seems to have fallen off a cliff edge. The power of diminishing returns, at some point someone trying to shoot Trump becomes the norm and no-one gives a shit anymore. I just wish it wasn't half blind simpletons attempting it.

Renton 20413 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I think YOU GUYS are right. I'm broadly optimistic about the American Election as I just can't see any independent looking at him and thinking "yeah, he's my choice". Also the federal reserve put down interest rates yesterday just in time for a feel good factor pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, do you find them weirdly gushing about Trump? The episode this week about how him ranting about people eating pets, and their claim that this has been a really clever and good move by Trump cos it's focused minds on immigration!? The polls are shifting markedly in Harris's favour, and yet these two are like "wow check out the big brain on Donald!" I find their thirst for drama, particularly when it comes to Trump, takes them down some odd paths at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost the debate and was scrabbling for sympathy / attention. Thankfully most seem to have seen right through it. Only 7 weeks of this charade left.
