In the 7 post-debate polls in PA, Harris is leading in 5, tied in 1, losing in 1. https://www.natesilver.net/p/nate-silver-2024-president-election-polls-model 9/12 - 9/17 Marist College 49% 49% Even 1.50 9/11 - 9/16 NYT/Siena 50% 46% D+ 4 9/12 - 9/16 ABC/WaPo 48% 48% D+ 0.5 9/15 - 9/18 Emerson Coll 50% 49% D+ 0.3 9/12 - 9/16 Quinnipiac 51% 46% D+ 5.5 9/14 - 9/15 InsiderAdvantag 48% 50% R+ 1.4 9/11 - 9/14 Suffolk University 49% 46% D+ 3 |
If they get all three, they must suspend the filibuster to get national abortion access protected. As a Dem voter, I expect it. I think the only reason they didn’t on 2020-2022 was that Biden was so old school and believed in the filibuster. Time to stop playing nice and get abortion access protected. |

IMO, the good news here is that 14% don’t know enough about Harris vs 6% for Trump. Trump has hit his ceiling. Everyone who hasn’t been ina come for the past decade knows him and has a strong option. They will vote for him or note. Harris still has room to get her numbers up and Trump the “not Trumps” from sitting the election out to a vote for her. And she’s run an amazing campaign thus far. She can move some of the “don’t knows” into her corner in the next month. Even 2-3% learning enough this month and moving over to her would make a huge difference. |
Very interesting that 30% of independent voters don’t know enough about Harris vs 10% for Trump. It makes sense. Trump was POTUs and has been covered 24/7 for a decade. Harris has been a contender for a few weeks. That’s an enormous opportunity for her to get a lot of votes. And she’s running a very smart campaign. She just needs to looks marginally better than tarriffs, shut down the government, abortion bans, no IVF, get rid of pre-existing coverage protections, etc. |

Why does emersoncollegepolling.com Sept 19 say Trump 48% - Harris 47%
https://emersoncollegepolling.com/september-2024-swing-state-polls-trump-and-harris-locked-in-tight-presidential-race/ But Nate Silver reports Emerson College as 9/15 - 9/18 50% 49% D+ 0.3 https://www.natesilver.ne...olls-model ? Answer: Silver rounds to nearest whole % and the provides the 01% on the margin, and also includes the 3.5% of "Undecided Lean" in the total, which substantially favors Harris, as seen in full data here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SCRlpxhcTB3YCrLcbSAG_hdj6ZwTzl85/htmlview# Let this be a lesson about how easy it is to mislead and spin in either direction with the same data. |

Do you really think Trump’s favorability has bounced up five points in the last month, really? https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4885966-donald-trump-favorability-rises-gallup-survey/ |
The 10% who don't know enough about Trump by this point should really be declared legally dead. |
+1. So much this. We have had all Trump drama, all the time for 9 straight years. How can you not have enough information to make a decision. What else do you want? Photos from his colonoscopy. My guess is that a decent number of the 10% are pro-Trump but won’t admit it. That, or the 10% is so disengaged that they’ll never vote anyway. |
