Voters Expect Harris to Win--and It Might Matter

Monday, September 23, 2024

Pollsters normally ask: "Who are you going to vote for?" That might be the wrong question. A few polls do it differently. They ask: Who do you think will win?" In a recent poll of Georgia, voters preferred Donald Trump over Kamala Harris by 3 points, but predicted by 11 points that Harris would win. Several other polls have had the same result.

Not all pollsters ask the "Who you think will win?" question, but it might be useful if they would start doing do. It might be better than the standard poll. (V)

Loads of low information voters want to vote for who they think will be the winner.

Right now, Harris is on a roll ...

Hopefully for the sake of this country she continues that roll right into the Presidency.

Hold onto those expectations, and get out and vote and take all of your like-minded friends and relations with you. Unless you want four years of even more chaos than before...

"low information voters"

That phrase is so 2012.

If people think their vote won't matter they won't vote, because sadly Americans are not as committed as they should be to voting. Because the GQP is committed to making voting as hard as possible, a lot of people who vote on election day won't take time out of their schedule, or inconvenience themselves to vote if it won't count. People are also very much about backing a winner, so if you are convinced your guy will lose, you won't waste your time.

Hillary was heavily favored to win in 2016. Look what happened. Dont make the same mistake twice. Don't underestimate the force of Maga voters and all the dirty tricks they have up their sleeves. They will certainly do it again. The only poll that matters is your vote on election day. Make your plan to vote today, make sure you are still registered to vote, tell your friends, neighbors and relatives to vote too. This is the most important election of our lifetime. Don't let Maga vote in a dictator.

Talk about election interference. Biden/Harris flew Zelensky on a US military plane to Pennsylvania for a campaign photo op. This happening just weeks after a crazed Democrat Ukraine supporter's assassination attempt of Trump. Trump was impeached for merely making a phone call to Zelensky.
