Trump lagging in early vote with seniors in Pennsylvania, a red flag for GOP
From the article:
“registered Democrats account for about 58 percent of votes cast by seniors, compared to 35 percent for Republicans.”
In Pennsylvania, where voters over the age of 65 have cast nearly half of the early ballots, registered Democrats account for about 58 percent of votes cast by seniors, compared to 35 percent for Republicans. That’s despite both parties having roughly equal numbers of registered voters aged 65 and older.
The partisan gap is narrower than it was in 2020, when views of early voting were more partisan, and Republicans take that as a good sign. But the GOP still is counting on more of its older voters to show up on Election Day, while Democrats have more votes in the bank.
So not lagging as much as 2020...
And concerning because Biden only won by 80k votes and it's literally his home state.
The gap in early voting was never going to be as wide as 2020. Trump was actively telling his cult to NOT vote early. Now they're telling them to do just that.
At the end of the day, the take-home message of this article is that Democrats are over-performing with seniors relative to 2020.
Trump is running 5 percentage points behind Harris among voters ages 65 and over, slipping back from the previous month, when he and Harris were tied with that demographic. It’s a major shift from 2020, when Trump carried 53 percent of the senior vote in Pennsylvania in a losing effort in the state.
Not really. Trump was telling them not to vote by mail.
Women live longer than men. The geriatric population will naturally be majority female.
That's one reason why I put the 8nformation from the article in the comments
Doesnt matter, their goal is to send the election to the Supreme Court and undemocratically win
NBC Early and mail in so far. 11am EST Nov 1 has 65 million votes so far. The battle ground only view is reflecting the OP's article for PA.
If Trump loses Pennsylvania, his path to victory becomes very difficult. But, there is other media.
Recent polls show Kamala Harris with an advantage of 19 to 29 percentage points among voters who say they’ve already cast ballots, the Washington Post reports.
I'm gonna need an official JordanLund breakdown on how this affects everything.
(Not being sarcastic at all. I'm nervous about this shit.)
HAHA LIBTARDS GOOD LUCK UR TIME IS OVER. TRUMP 2024 2028 2032. MAGA!!!! DEAL WITH IT SNOWFLAKES
Edit: sorry, I suffer from chronic stupidity
My money says this race won't be nearly as close as the polls suggest. Harris voters are far more motivated to keep Trump out than his supporters are to keep him in.
And a large chunk of the younger voters aren't responding to pollsters
I’m 57. I can’t count the number of SMS messages from “pollsters” that I’ve ignored over the past few months. And if the huge number of unknown callers I haven’t bothered to answer is any indication, then I’ve ignored many dozens of pollsters that way as well.
Thanks for making me feel young again for not answering the six unknown phone calls I get every day.
I really need to move out of a swing state.
A huge chunk of informed traditional conservative voters in red areas aren't tipping their hand because of possible MAGA violence. Also, upper echelon Republicans want to defeat MAGA and regain control of their party but do not want to telegraph their votes.
No one should.
my phone has been automatically marking their texts as spam 90% of the time so I doubt most people are
I also read many of the polls would refuse to count the youngest voters anyway, as they only want to count 'likely voters' and for some the criteria is 'having voted in real elections at least twice', which is impossible for people under 22.
I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Remember that to Trump voters Harris is a woke China-loving communist nr who'll destroy America. They're straight up fanatics.
Hasnt trump been called a really old Russia-loving fascist rapist who will destroy America?
