This week’s Emerson College Polling national survey finds 49% of voters support Vice President Kamala Harris, while 48% support former president Donald Trump for president in 2024. One percent of voters plan to support someone other than the major party nominees on the ballot, and two percent are undecided. When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Harris’s overall support increases to 50%, and Trump’s to 49%.
“Women and male voters break in near opposite directions: men for Trump, 56% to 42%, and women for Harris, 55% to 41%” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “Hispanic voters break for Harris, 61% to 35% and. Black voters 81% to 12%, while white voters break for Trump 60% to 38%.”
*** “Voters who made their decision on who to support over a month ago break for Trump, 52% to 48%, while voters who made up their mind in the last month or week break for Harris, 60% to 36%,” Kimball said. “The three percent of voters who said they could still change their mind currently favor Harris, 48% to 43%.”
On the generic congressional ballot, 48% plan to vote for the Democratic candidate while 45% support the Republican candidate. Seven percent are undecided.
Kamala Harris holds a 53% favorable rating, while 47% have an unfavorable view of the vice president. Donald Trump holds a 49% favorable rating, while 51% have an unfavorable view of the former president.
A plurality of voters (38%) find the economy to be the most important issue facing the nation, followed by immigration (16%), threats to democracy (13%), abortion access (9%), healthcare (7%), housing affordability (6%), and crime (4%).

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Women, blacks, and Hispanics are heavily favoring Harris.
Elsewhere, I’ve read that the early voting turnout in North Carolina has broken records. Generally, in the past, early voting favors Democrats. Time will tell.

early voting favors cheating. Since we didn’t deal with this after the 2020 steal we are about to deal with this BS again.

I don’t know a single person voting for Harris. Usually I know many voting for the Democrat candidate. Yet the polls are so similar every year.
